Part 2: Taking eggs from Big Girl Malaysian Short-tailed Python AKA Blood Python (Python brongersmai). She was amazingly calm and such a pleasure. The long tongue flicks show me she is not in a defensive mind set. If you just see the forkes of the tongue static in the mouth, then you know you in trouble. Then obviously hissing and heavy shrugging are more obvious. So we will see if we can bring them all to term but they not normally an issue. Basic mix of perlite and vermiculite at 50/50 at 31.5
