This year I didn't brumate any snakes as I wanted a lean breeding year.
I did put the male albino and dark phase female together in the hopes of producing more B/W scrubs.
I never saw a lockup but have notice the female putting on some girth. For the last week she's been very restless and jumpy.
Tonight as I put all the snakes to bed I looked in and saw some fresh jellies. I'm hoping she has some live babies in there but will just have to wait.
I'll update in the morning.

So this is probably YES but I have to assure myself. This is the same pair that produced the B/W before, and thus why you paired them up again? Hope you get some!

Good luck, I definitely want to see more of those B/W radixes.

P.S. was the thread name supposed to read 2012 instead of 1012?

I'm confused as to this "lean breeding year..."
It makes it sound almosy like you wanted fewer baby garters, but I know that can't be it...

That is exacting what I wanted. Getting used to this retired money thing ;) Better to not have them then not be able to care for them properly.
The last couple of years have been really busy with babies at the expense of my adult(less time for them).
I love babies but also know my adult deserve and want my time also.

Now Steve...you knew if you posted this you would get all kinds of offers from people asking to take some of those little beauties off your hands! :D Any updates? Still only jellies?

Nothing new other the I did palpate her and could feel more possible jellies.
At this point I'm just hoping she will pass anything as long as her health is jeopardized.

Nothing new to report. She eat 5 small pinkies yesterday. No more jellies.
She's still more jumpy but it could be the fact she's all alone at this time.

Oh really? Have we finally found that you do have a limit? No!, this can't be.

Thought I should update this thread.
I'm calling this years attempt to produce more B/W radixes a bust. It ended with a couple jellies.
Mom is back in with her group and much happier.

Shame it didn't work out this year, we will have to wait until next year for an update.

She's a good girl and great to work with. Calm and relaxed. She didn't like being separated from her group which I will post about in Steve's Snake Observations.
