View Full Version : Two very gravid West Papuans

I just figured I'd post a comparison pic of how light PosterChild is in comparison to a more normal gravid female. Please keep in mind that both females have completely changed to their darkest point they can get. Both are due to lay in the next week or so.
I just hope we get fertiles from PosterChild!

Amazing snakes Yasser! How many clutches are you expecting this year?
Thanks for the kind words guys!
It's funny how some folks like the more typical dark ones while others only like the brightest, lightest ones! Makes me wish I continued to work on our black West Papuans. Oh well...We had to pick our battles!
To answer a couple a couple of questions, PC is about 4.5 feet long....she is very small for her age (approx 11-13 yrs. old) Going into cooling, she was weighing in at only about 1300 grams if my memory serves me correctly.
And we have 5 WP clutches expected....one of which landed yesterday.....

That's Mocha laying a clutch of 11 fertiles and 1 infertile.
So yep, 4 more clutches to go. Somehwere between those West Papuan clutches dropping, we are expecting 3 clutches of scrubs too including Moluccan Python eggs from an axanthic to axanthic breeding!
I am so excited I am going to pop!
