On Sunday 6th of June, just as I was about to place a Strawberry Cheesecake the Snake back into her main vivarium from the nesting box she's been in all week, she starts to lay.....
After hurriedly placing her back into her nesting box (and nine...NINE!!! hours later.) a clutch of 20 eggs has arrived...both Strawberry and the clutch of eggs are fine..Strawberry has already gone back into the main vivarium (which has cheered up a grumpy Dangerous Beans) and I have begun incubation of the eggs...
Heres a pic of what my beautiful little scaly girl has achieved....a stirling effort for her first ever lay...you wont be able to count them all, but you get the idea...each egg is about 3cm's long, and roughly 2cm's wide, so understandably, Strawberry's a bit tired.
I'll keep you all updated with events, as with a great deal of hope (and no small amount of good luck) all the eggs will prove healthy and viable, and should take about 60-70 days to hatch...fingers crossed please folks...
until next time...
