bummer - Jellybeans

[infernalis]

Found a clump of amber jellybeans in my triple het radix enclosure today.

She had been locking up with 2 males continuously for weeks, oh well....:(

At least on the bright side, I have another Infernalis on the way next week.

Sorry to hear it, but at least you still have your snake so theres always next time!

[infernalis]

Bummer Wayne, theres always next year, thats what I always tell myself when that happens.

It seems to me that there have been alot more high profile bummer posts than last year. Comments?

[infernalis]

I was not around here much last year... so I can't really say.

That's what people said last year, too. And the year before that. I'm not convinced that this year is special.

I tend to agree with Stefan. Seems about the same.

[infernalis]

Hey at least I don't have dead baby snakes like last year.

Hi Wayne, do you have a clue what went wrong? No hibernation or heating from underneath teh cage?

Kind regards, Steven Bol (from Holland)

[infernalis]

Since these are a project I am working on, the cage with her in it has heat, a basking light, etc.

Jellybeans are unfertilized eggs, and she only passed 3.

The optimist in me wants to believe there may still be fertile ones inside her.

[Tyrel26]

Well if it was only 3 I wouldn't be surprised if she still had more healthy ones to come. Maybe these 3 had started to form to early to be fertilized during the mating.

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I wouldn't say that just 3 jellies is necessarily the end of it. It is definitely possible for there to still be viable sperm to fertilize another ovulation, or fertilized eggs still inside.
