Today I decided which offspring
to keep and which to put on sale on the Snakeday next weekend.
Apart from offspring 2010 I will sell the female Corallus hortulanus wthat gave birth a few weeks ago. I will sellher because I have a daughter of her that will be fertile soon. Details on the "on sale" page |

Surprise!!: the female Corallus
hortulanus of breeding couple 2 gave birth to 13 large
juvenile. I didn't expect her to deliver before the end of October.
The last two nights I found her on the floor of her terrarium. That was unusually behaviour for her and I thought about giving her a floor heating device.. The litter includes a large variety of colours. I can't wait to see them after their first shedding.... .JPG)

Never seen this on Corallus
hortulanus before. This 2007 female burnt herself on the lightning
bulb.

The couple 1 female is pregnant
too. She changed colour to a darker red, stopped eating (last meal on Februari
24). She lies near the hot spot constantly. The picture on the right is
taken recently.
Below a picture prior to pregnancy.

The Morelia Bredli female
keeps eating en I don't see her on the hot spot more often than usually.
I don't expect her to be pregnant. |

The couple 2 female is pregnant
for sure. Her belly is bigger (with her last meal on March 12). Also her
colour changed to a darker red over the last months. On the right an picture
taken today and below a picture taken before the introduction of the male.

Again an offspring 2010 Corallus
hortulanus died today. This one was also a problem-free eater.
Remarkeble: this one had the last meal on the same day as the one who died on May 1. |

I separated the Morelia Bredli couple today. Several matings observed over the last few days. |
 |
| May
14 |
During cleaning I had both terraria
in wich I keep my couple Morelia Bredli open at the same time. At
an ungarded moment the female went over to the males terrarium and she
showed interrest instantly.
A mating followed.. I decided to keep the two together for a few days. They might be too young to produce a litter but I'm pleased with this behaviour.. |

Today one of the 2010 offspring corallus hortulanus died. I don't really have an explanation.. this juvenile did eat well and had her last meal about a week ago. | |
| March
14 |
November 2010 I had (not planned) matings with my couple Morelia viridis. The female keeps eating and I don't see changes in her behaviour. Therefore I don't expect her to be pregnant.. | |
| March
13 |
After putting couple 3 together
again yesterday the female did behave the saem as on March 9.
I decided to separate them after 24 hours. I will not put this couple together again.. Couple number 2 was seperated today
as well.
|
|
| March
9 |
After putting couple 3 together
the female went into stress. She moved straight to the bottom of the terrarium,
stayed down and tried to dig herself in.
I never saw this kind of behaviour before... |
 |
| March
5 |
Again the first two couples put together. Couple number 1 went into mating immediately.. |
 |
| February
25 |
The couple Elaphe gonyosoma bought
last year is
doing well. They are 14 months now. The photo shows the female. |
 |
| February
23 |
I decided to seperate
the males from the females.
No matings observerd (but I've been away for a few days, so you knows..) |
|
| February 13 | I introduced the males to the ladies (first two couples). Both didn't show any interest | |
| January
30 |
Last November I found
my Morelia viridis in mating (see logbook). This year I'll try to
breed with three couples of Corallus hortulanus. too.
See under " breeding" for the details. Couple three:
