Taiwan Beauties

[Shawn(snakebite)]

On july 9 one of my female Taiwan beauties(Elaphe taeniura friesei) layed 5 eggs and I expect my other to lay as well as possibly get second clutches from both.They usually only lay 5-10 eggs.So , in september sometime you can expect some beautiful Taiwans to be available.For those of you who aren't familiar with them they can reach a size of 6.5-8 feet.They are very quick and agile with a slender body.They are a nice display snake for they are quite active and love to climb.The snake in my logo is a male Taiwan.

Congrats Shawn!!! Put me down for a pair when they hatch.

That is good to hear - congrats Shawn!

I've never had taiwans double clutch, and our clutches were 13 eggs the first year, 14 the second i think, and 17 eggs the last year.

;D Thanks guys!! Yes I'm just quoting the average when I say ..Usually 5-10 eggs. It's a first time for me having Taiwans reproduce and my females aren't the 6 foot monsters yet, so, I imagine when they are bigger they will produce more eggs and this is their first year. Glad to hear that you've had big clutches though ..Ryan, goes to prove the usual can be pushed.
