Spring!
Well, I guess most of you will have ended hibernation...How is spring coming along? Have you seen any snakes mate yet? Have you felt embryos? Or maybe even some young? (way early, but I saw some advertised...)
My year is coming along nicely.
I have seen some matings (marcianus, parietalis and today the atratus)
Above species where 'suspected gravid' a few days ago, so I weighed them...
The marcianus gained 10 % bodyweight (more then 30 grams)
The small parietalis female gained 24% (slightly more then 20 grams) en the atratus female gained a whopping 28% bodyweight! (just under 15 grams)
I'm hoping this really is a sign of gravi...hmmm, not gravity...gravidity? gravidness?...
so, come on! Lets hear some great babynews!
