7th and final clutch.....
Day 29, the longest I've ever had (previous was Day 27), and definitely longest of this year, as all have been 23 days after PLS, except one at 24 days (the last, most important one!  )
Afternoon laying, which isn't too common around here. But it just goes to show, they will lay when THEY WANT TO, and no amount of artificial manipulation will prove otherwise.
BIG, OLD, nasty female:

Scott, trade ya? Ha ha. Ok, trade you feeding and cleaning schedules? LOL!!
Thanx guys. Too kind of you to say. Hopefully, because of the number of eggs, something weird and new will hatch out. Or maybe because of the combos, I'll get some keepers. Either, as most of you know, its just fun. That's why I work with Jungles. The space that they take up could probably be filled with Ball morphs that would make me $200,000 a year, but how much fun are Ball Pythons? I love them, and I love the Ball "game", but at the end of the day, they are boring to work with. There isn't the dollar value in Jungles, but I'm fine just getting the opportunity to work with them, and making a tidy sum by the end of the year from them is just gravy.
Cheers all.

Sweet Jeff!
116 Jungle eggs! And then all the ball eggs, all the Brazilians and all the rest! Holly smokes Yoda! What's your incubation set up like this year? How many different units do you have etc?
116 on just one species is nutts, even if every thing here takes, which I I'm pretty sure it all won't the most I'd be looking at is 150 in total and that is from 4 different species. You're a breeding machine man!
Cheers,
Chewie

Thanx Trev.
For the pythons, I have two 3x3x3 incubators that can house 6 11.4L Rubbermaids each. That allows me to have around 7 Jungle clutches and 10-15 Ball clutches. Plenty of room still!
And then for the colubrids, I have one 2x2x2 incubator which is totally overkill as all I have is Hondos and I'll only have about 5-8 clutches this year and it can house 10 batches at a time.
But when the Womas go next year and about 4x as many Ball Pythons, I'll have to either build something else, or build something else. LOL!
Of course the Rainbows make it easier, but then add the Hogs (4 females), the Dums (2 females), and the het albino boas (5 females), and all of a sudden the live-bearers take over the joint! Next year possibly, and the year after definitely, will be choas. No question. But it will be fun, because it will put me in a position to refine, sell some breeding stock, and upgrade a lot of animals. Its all worth it in the end.
I'd rather do it this way than just get $30,000 in capital and go buy a bunch of expensive morphs. I take pride that anything that comes through my place, produces. I'd much rather build the collection through production and re-investment than by just forking over a bunch of cash from another aspect of life. I think it adds a little credibility as any joe-blow can buy anything if they have the dough. But to only buy stuff with "snake money" entails that you have to actually produce, or you'll never get anything new. Its the same approach you have Trev., and you are definitely being successful with it. I don't think we'd do it any other way, and I don't think we'd want to.
Cheers,
Jeff F.
