I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH 2.3 GHOST CORNS. THE 2 FEMALES BRED THIS YEAR BOTH PRODUCED NICE "FIRST" CLUTCHES & BOTH OF THEM "DOUBLE CLUTCHED" DESPITE NOT BEING BRED AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE LACK OF SPERM THE 2ND TIME ROUND ALL THE EGGS (JUST UNDER 30) WERE INFERTILE EXCEPT FOR 6 FROM THE ONE FEMALE. ANYONE THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE CORNS CAN "STORE" SPERM, I CAN OFFICIALLY VOUCH THAT "YES THEY CAN" OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO PRODUCE THE 6 HEALTHY BABIES FROM WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 18 SLUGS OTHERWISE. NEXT YEAR ALL THE FEMALES WILL BE BRED AFTER THEY PRODUCE WHETHER I WANT TO DOUBLE CLUTCH THEM OR NOT. WHY? BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT EVERY FEMALE COLUBRID (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GR. BANDS) THAT PRODUCED FOR ME THIS YEAR "DOUBLE-CLUTCHED" ON THEIR OWN & WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE "6" MENTIONED ABOVE, ALL THE EGGS WERE INFERTILE "SLUGS". HERE I WAS TRYING TO GIVE ALL THE GIRLS A BREAK & THEY ALL GO & PRODUCE 2ND CLUTCHES ANYWAY. IT REALLY SUCKS TO THROW AWAY AROUND 100 EGGS THAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF NOT FOR THE LACK OF SPERM. DOH!!! JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL EVERYTHING AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE TOO.
HERE IS MY SMALLER FEMALE BREEDER:
