First ball python clutches of the year finally

I had two ball python clutches laid last night. One clutch of four eggs from an Albino male and a het albino female, and a clutch of five eggs from an albino male and a spider female. All eggs appear to be fertile.

I’m still waiting on one or two more ball clutches, but I admittedly didn’t try really hard with the balls this year, I placed my focus more on the Australian pythons.

Bredli eggs in the incubator

I haven’t posted an update in quite a while, I’ve had certain issues occupying my attention as of late.

I did have a clutch of Bredli laid today. This was my most anticipated breeding of the season. I’ve been working at getting the conditions right for a couple of seasons and have finally succeeded and have a cluthc of 18 nice looking eggs.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well during incubation so I can finally add this species to my list of successful breedings.

Unfortunately however, the entire Jungle carpet clutch went bad soon after laying, as has newrly all of the woma clutch. This time though I didn’t lose the woma eggs due to my mistake in incubation, I’m suspecting infertility to be the culprit since they started going bad very early in the incubation.
