They rarely travel alone.
Math quiz: Assume that all females reach maturity, and continue to breed at the rate of 10 litters/year. Assume that there are 6 pups/litter and 3 viable females in each litter, all of which produce viable litters at the same rate. In one year's time, how many breeding females might there be?
Show your math!
perhaps you would prefer a house snake. While they shed, at least they don't leave fur all over the place, and gack up hair balls in your slippers.
Not for me, @Mini Horses! But if there's a demand for something, people will supply it!
@Lazy Gardener, I'm coming up with 59,048 a year there JUST for Gerald and Geraldine. I certainly could be wrong...(Actually, If I count their first batch as litter 1, it would be 177, 146 a year...)
Each batch triples the one before it. You start with 2, then, 6, then, 18; 54; 162, ... for 10 litters in one year. Then add them all together, and you've got a whole lot of money going out every year for birthday presents!!
