Warning on breeding! ~attn: graphic pics~

well. I got this female rootbeer cornsnake from a breeder in the states a little while back.
She was sold to me as an adult, but when i recieved her, I realized she was too small to breed, so i didnt pair her up.

BUT, aparently, he had already bred her this season and when it was time to lay, since she was too small she became egg bound.

I contacted him and appartently he negelected to tell me she had been bred. I guess its a loss i have to take!

This was the first egg, she never got it out past this point.



Over night, she had died, so i decided to try and save the eggs. I got them all out ok, and they looked good. But unfortunately, they didnt make it past their first week.





Anyways, just wanted to put this up as a reminder to be patient to breed, wait 'til your snakes are of good size and dont push it....it'll do more harm than good!

cheers
