well. came home today, having just brought a car. came home, and checked on the animals as i always do. looked in the Oxybelis vivarium to find a single egg. the female looks like she has more in here - which she undoubtedly does.

however, i believe, someone please correct me and give me contact details of the person that did it if i am wrong, that this is the first in the uk. i assume the mating occured in the wild, but as far as i am aware this is the first one in the uk, possibly europe - i have asked contacts in europe but noone knows of any.

happy days, it looks good, so with any luck will have baby oxys soon :)

Dale - what shop?

thanks guys. it may be a case of egg binding, but i dont think so. the is near the laying box now, so hopefully it will happen soon. eg looks ok actually, so will have to wait and see.

all are taking defrost mice - all took it first time as well which is fantastic. so if wildies are doing that the juvies should be ok to convert. and once they are they will make fantastic display snakes.

car is a citroen c2 1.6 gt - love it and pretty rapid for a first car

bloody shame matey, could you not candle the eggs to get correct embryo placement?
