Daniel Pine snake is laying eggs

[Catherine]

It looks like my pine snake Daniel is expecting. After she lost her mate of many years I introduced her to Jasper the Gopher Snake.


They seem very happy together

Danny is the upper one with solid colour. Jasper has the brown and gold makings.

This last month Danny has been so hungry. She has been eating enough for three snakes.
And  she has gotten fatter. On feeding day she refused food and now she is restless and can't seem to get comfortable. Those are delivery signs. I have her all set up in a safe, suitable place so she can lay eggs in peace. Now I get to worry until she actually lays her eggs. It could take days. Snakes are in no hurry once they are ready to lay eggs. It can take hours for each egg and they always have a number of them. I am going to be worrying until this is over. Then I get to worry about the eggs until they hatch.

I have had Danny since she hatched in 2010. I wish there was more I could do for her, but she knows I am here.
