year, now the waiting starts until

Black headed female 11.3 has laid a perfect clutch of eggs, the attached photos show the process
of removing the eggs carefully from the female after the last egg has been laid so as not to disturb the female. Eggs are aired for about an hour on the bench to harden them up prior
to numbering with a pencil and then going into artificial incubation.

Its been a big week here at Sonnemann's Snakes with multiple clutches of Black headed python eggs laid. These are due to hatch by mid-November and at least some babies are expected to be ready to go during December. Although the order book has been closed on some clutches due to
the demand for babies carrying exceptional genetics, it is still worth getting your name down in the event of cancellations.

Good news!
The Calico girl has produced a clutch
of eggs, 9 being fertile, on the
8th of September.

Above is a close-up photo of the head of the Calico female, showing the reduced black colouration of the hood covering the head.
Orders are now being accepted for offspring from this female. Her babies will carry genes for Axanthics and also for the Calico trait, whilst not strictly double hets they will be special.

Sloughing on the 6th of August, the
Calico female should lay her eggs in
the first week of September.
A couple of photos here post slough.

The Calico female ovulated on the 19th
of July as can be seen by the massive mid body swelling. This lasts a couple of days until the eggs are fertilised.
Previously she has laid up to 17 eggs in a clutch.
