She's doing well this A.M. I don't know how many eggs I (oops..SHE LOL!) has; I'll wait till she leaves the nest sometime...don't want to bother her.
Now my only problem is that I have the other two on the prowl in my backyard! I have a feeling Mama chased them out (I have them in an Exo-Terra screened cage which has small cracks between the fitted sides) and I don't want them cleaning out my two little ponds! Any advice on how to catch them??

Re: Help!!! I have (she has) two eggs!!!
Grab a lawn chair and watch the food source. Put down some boards(close to the food) for hides and check them periodically. Best of luck. Keep us posted.

Re: Help!!! I have (she has) two eggs!!!
LOL! Wisdom??? Well, you order three snakes you know NOTHING about online(all the same breed, two females, one male), you put 'em in a cage and in two days VOILA!! EGGS! I don't really know; I will write to ReptilesnCritters and see if they were aware that she may be pregnant. Blows me away.... NOW...if God is on my side and willing to give these babies a chance....it's in His hands now....

Re: Help!!! I have (she has) two eggs!!!
I didn't know you were a cop!! Boy, do I feel stupid now ...I hope you didn't think I was mocking you with my CB talk (CB as in radio..LOL!).
No sign of my two wandering keelbacks....I DO recall shortly before Mama starting laying eggs that one of them seemed agitated and anxious, as if he wanted out of the cage. He was definately looking for an escape. You don't suppose she ATE them, do you???maxmommy ( mother, grandmother, owner of a redfoot tortoise, 2 red-eared sliders, 20 firebellied toads, 3 indonesian garters and four Great Plains toads...oh, and two doxies!)
