#such a great snake

FINALLY.

Hatshepsut didn’t like her new lay box and refused to use it, so I turned a drawer on my hatchling grow-out rack into a lay box instead. She’s used this size box before and I know she likes them. She dove in and almost immediately laid a single good egg and a single slug three days ago, but then shifted gears and started to focus on nesting instead.

Today she finally decided that her nest was ready and started laying in earnest.

Now I know for next time. Pharaoh gets a queen-sized birthing suite and nothing less.
