My favorite snake (Shag) surprised me this morning!

Happy (day before) Valentine's Day to me!

She is a 10+ year old Irian Jaya Carpet Python that I've had since she was a baby. This is the outcome of her very first breeding attempt.







They are now safe in the incubator. Hope all goes well, this is my first (planned) egg birth.

Shag was great, didn't hiss, bite or even act like she didn't want me messing with her.

Only sad thing is that it's been over an hour, I even cleaned/washed out her home before putting her back in, and she's still hunting for her eggs.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats



Not trying to be funny but did you remember to wash her off, too?

I didn't even think about washing her, is that something that I should do? Probably, huh?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I hope to have a clutch of Coastals soon also. The female doesn't really look pregnant but she just started acting funny today.

That's what I had to do with a retic I had that decided to try to lay w/o being breed.

Wash her, the cage and any thing in it (water bowls etc) again, toss her a rattie & she should chill out.

I had her cage all cleaned, new aspen and a different water bowl and water too.

Now, she is dishwater clean...even smells like Dawn now.

I suppose that I should clean everything again? This time cleaning her and everything before she gets put back in?

I'm not looking forward to the day my Retic lays, removing those eggs won't be as easy...I can just bet on that.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, company wandered over.

Yeah you should rewash if she hasn't settled. Hopefully she's ok now?

I gave my girl a rabbit right away & she ate it and chilled out.

I might have had a relatively easy time getting her off them because hers weren't viable (& she was super sweet to begin with).

Hopefully somebody with more experience will chime in.

Well, I washed her again and cleaned out her home. She is really starting to calm down but she still likes to just lay in the same spot she had her eggs...kinda sad, really.

Anyway, it will be rat time tomorrow for her.

Thanks for your help.
