: I'm curious why you've retired Cadillac from breeding. Do you feel he's got enough of his genes in the captive pool? Or is his old stuff producing defective babies?

: Your 5.5 foot female produced 10 eggs for you? That's pretty cool. Was she bred early or is she just a small snake?

: Keep up the good work,

Doug,

Cadillac has been shooting blanks, the offspring dont come out defective, but their is a high rate of infertility. I have experinced this with younger males, I just assumed it is because of his age, But now that I think about it, given the high rate of infertility, it may not be.
I am in the enviable position of not haveing to rely on him, as I have other males and acess to other males from totally diffrent blodlines.
And, a LOT of babies in Calif have his genes.
As for the female, she was always small and despite heavy feeding and optimun conditions never grew much. She gets next year off.
thanks for your kind comments, but I cant take credit for any sucess. All of that credit must rightfully go to God.

Fred
