my friend put all her one of her beardie eggs in with her leo eggs buy accident poor thing must of been slaughtered within minutes, found it dead before he even realised it had hatched

Wowser! My Creamsicles hatched a few days ago ( 9 eggs, 9 healthy babies ) and they are all sold pending appropriate feeds. I could have sold more if the response is anything to go by, and low and behold this morning Mum is double clutching. Luckily she ate quickly after the first clutch and seemed in good form. I can see 3 eggs so far, I think they are ok but obviously not disturbing her. She only laid 9 first time so guess there will be somewhere less than that this time

If a snake double clutches, is it likely that snake will do so every breeding? And if a snake doesn't, is it likely also that will be the case for future? Just asking as never experienced double clutches before now. Thank you.

In my experience, big girls usually double clutch, and most of mine that do double clutch, will do so consistently most years without being bred twice, just can't stop it. I usually find it is on the snakes in the 500g + range that do it for me, and my girls that double clutch are all one who were not bred young so are quite large... I don't know realistically what makes them double clutch, but I know it's not brumation as I've had 4 girls double clutch this year and I don't brumate my females.... all were actually 600g+ to begin with, and none were put back with a male at all. One out of the 4 most of the eggs weren't fertile, but all the others seem fertile.

Thanks for that. Well this girl I only bought last Summer so dont know her previous breeding history that well but she had bred before. I believe she is 4 or 5 years old. I wouldnt call her the largest of snakes however... see what I mean ?



However, my Caramel who Ive had from a hatchling, and who I did not breed until she was 3, is a huge girl, and did not double clutch. Funny isnt it?
