Do you think you'd ship internationally? As much as it's probably a terrible idea.

Hmmm...since you made us look at that nasty poo we'd better get twice as many baby pictures as you were originally planning on posting! I can't help you on if it means anything or not but we'll be eagerly awaiting any news!

My Photos

Well I got some info from Bighill Reptiles; the stool should look like a pile of melted wax.
So I guess it's not quite time yet.

So I've deleted the poo pic above. Sorry for making you all look at it Here's an older pic of mom-to-be Talyn to make up for it:





And YES, when and IF babies do come, you'll get LOTS of pics to make up for it.

Beth, I'm not really sure what is involved in shipping internationally. I'd have to do some research on that: I think it could get pretty expensive.

I figured as much LOL, I would just love one of her gorgeous babies because she is a gorgeous snake!

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for an equally gorgeous snake's babies to come along that are more in range.

Thanks Beth
She really is a beautiful girl. Here's a post shed pic of her this morning curled up in her moss box.
I didn't want to disturb her too much, but you can see how big she still is:

I wish I knew!!! I REALLY thought it was going to happen last night, but obviously Talyn has a different timetable!

She took another small rat greedily this evening. When I say greedily: I'm talking about jump out of the box to grab it greedy!!:




The rat wasn't much bigger than her head, so it didn't take long for her to get it down and she looked eager for more. But with so many eggs still inside, that's all she gets.
I'm not sure if her eagerness to eat is a good sign or not... I've been offering her a very small rat about once every 10 days since February and she's always taken them. (She refused to eat anything at all in January shortly before and after ovulation). I just read about a female that laid only slugs who ate intermittently while gravid, so maybe it's not such a good sign.
Talyn's weight is good, she has only lost 10 grams since January. She seems in top form. I miss handling her: I'll be happy when this gravid stuff is finished and I get my snake back!

While she was in her feeding box, I put my fingers gently against her side where the eggs are. I thought I could feel something move away from my fingers (not her muscles -- her body didn't move) But that also may be total wishful thinking on my part... complete hallucinations???

Keep sending good thoughts for a successful birth: I'll let you know as soon as anything happens!! Thanks for all the support!

Good luck! (Im crossing my fingers for you and Talyn)

Some bad news:I just got Talyn's stool sample back from the vet today: she also has Strongyloiden/Rhabdias nematodes... I could kick myself a hundred times over for putting her together with a male (now my male, Crais) that had not been quarantined.
The guy who sold me Crais had him tested a while ago, but lent him out recently to a friend for breeding. Obviously he came back infested with nematode parasites which he passed on to my friend's female and to Talyn.
Now that I bought him, it's up to me to foot the bill for getting rid of the parasites. Crais is doing better, but I can't treat Talyn until AFTER she gives birth... the big question is if the babies have been infected/affected by the parasites or not.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
Reminder: DO NOT LEND YOUR ANIMALS OR BORROW OTHER ANIMALS for breeding exchanges without proper quarantine procedures and testing!!!!!

Just the tests cost me US$50 each time and the treatment is a b"*ç% for both me and the snakes!!!
I hope the babies are OK, but right now all I want is for this pregnancy to be over with so I can start treating Talyn!!!
