Well, there are five new additions to the Brown household. At least there were for about thirty minutes, then Chris took them to the college. One of our ball pythons laid five eggs about two weeks ago. I was almost lucky enough to watch all the action, but the daddy snake decided to curl around the eggs and the mom every time I tried to look. I thought this protective behavior was odd because daddy snakes aren’t usually around when the eggs are laid. I figure he may just have been really aggravated since he was stuck in an enclosure with a laboring female. Anyway, we should have five little baby snakes in about forty or forty-five days. Any takers?? These snakes are really docile as long as they are handled occasionally.
