This girl has been doing everything but sing to me to get me to feed her lately so I thought I'd give her something to keep her happy for more than three days... hopefully.

Thanks Chunky. She's not actually all that big, about 400 grams I think. That rat was about 60 - 70 grams so she had to stretch a bit but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I made a deal with her, she could have all the rats she wants until the winter and I get all the eggs I want in the spring. lol!

Oh I don't know Paul, I don't think she's up for a trip to Kingston with a belly full like that. lol!

I'm gonna try her with my Great Plains Rat again this year but if that doesn't work I'll have to decide whether I want to try for jungle corns or whether to pick up a het snow male and get a nice mixed clutch. I'll figure it out before it's time to put them in the cold.

She's about 4 feet long I think, like I said she's not terribly big but I'm going to try to put all the weight on her I can before the end of November. She gave me two clutches for a total of 24 eggs, 21 babies and 3 slugs this year. Not too bad because as far as I know it was her first time. I got her late in the season last year and didn't get all the food into her before cooling that I would have liked so I'm hoping the extra weight will yield me some extra eggs.

Beautiful snow! I think you should find a male equally as beautiful and have yourself some gorgeous snow babies!

Really like that girl!

Thanks Katt. I must say I'm a little puzzled that you like her, given that you're a founding member of the AAA. lol!

I have thought about pairing her up with a male snow but I really like the idea of getting three morphs plus normals in a single clutch so a het snow male would be more interesting to me even if I don't make as much when I sell them off. Of course if I do that I might not get any snows which would be a downer... I guess the only solution would be to get both a snow and a het snow and double clutch her. lol!
