A few pics of my leucistic texas rat in her tub. I've seen her mating with the male on several occasions now, so fingers crossed she will be laying some eggs soon. Does anyone know roughly how long it should be between copulation and egg laying? Would it be the same amount of time for carpet pythons too?

Gestation is varied but between 60-80 days for the ratsnake. Watch for that pre-lay shed, usually the best indicator.

Lovely looking snake Very Happy

No, I've never handled them much really so they have always been a tad feisty! lol
I handle all of my other snakes though as I don't want a houseful of snakes I can't go near!!
