    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok,
So I'm not 100% sure how common it is for a western hognose female to lay multiple clutches in a single season, but so far... all my girls but one have done so...
First girl laid 9 bad eggs, and 2 months later laid 8 good ones.
Second girl laid 14 good eggs, and looks like she's about to lay again,
Third girl laid 6 bad eggs and 2 good eggs, just laid another 8 good ones today (40 days later).
Forth girl laid 6 good eggs (hatched just recently), and looks like she may lay again...

Should I be EXPECTING all my girls to lay multiple clutches per season?? (not complaining... just a little shocked to find more eggs this morning...)
 
It is quite normal for female hogs to double clutch... My female laid 10 good eggs and 2 slugs on 6/17/10 and then laid 9 good eggs on 7/30/10...
 
Are they double clutching from the same male or two separate males? I will soon have 2.1 poss double het for snow hoggies and wonder if i can have both males introduced to her and possibly have her double clutch from that...or even if i can do both of them anyway and have them both take like i've heard of/seen in some ball pythons...

Click to expand...

You can have a female lay a clutch from one male and the second clutch you can use a different male...
