Yesterday, after waking up to a fully fertile 10 egg clutch from one of our IJ Carpets I put them in the incubator. I worked for a bit with some other snakes, cleaning and watering, etc. Then I peeked into another cage andI noticed this...

She laid a completely fertile 12 egg clutch. She is a pure mainland F2 CB Barneck. The father was too!
We thought a while back that she was gravid but we have been tricked a few times before with such darkened colors and such. And she really didn't look as gravid as she did last time she laid. Actually, we got the same number of fertiles in this clutch as the ones from last year, just without the infertiles!
So I am pleased to say the least. She gets next year off for sure.

The female that laid is roughly 11-12 feet long and 8 years old. We've has her since she was 18 months old and this is her second clutch. Her other clutch was laid last year.
Thanks for all the kind words guys!
