[Chondro788]

Awesome, that's alot if effort!!!

I once had an eastern drop 54 and that almost put me over the edge lol. I couldn't imagine 70 from 1 girl.
Tell your friend good luck with them and hope mama is doing well.

I'm also wondering, can they mate more than once? Like for example: When a dog is in heat, she can mate more than once, with more than one dog during that time, and therefore (possibly) have more puppies. Can snakes do this?

Yes they can and do....

Yikes! Think the record for a parietalis in Manitoba is somewhere in the low 80s. That's a lot of snakelets!

Yeah, but Steve, that makes what, 1% of your total # of snakes? That's like nothing to you.

Pretty significant to all of us though.

[mikem]

That's a ton of babies

[Mommy2many]

That's alot of mouths to feed!
Congratulations to the new Mom; she must be exhausted!

Do parientalis have large litters because of high death rates in the wild or do they just want to show off?
