In February of last year, the female snake's belly gradually began to swell, and an ultrasound examination confirmed she was pregnant. In the two weeks after she laid her eggs, the female hundred-pacer protected them vigorously. Not daring to anger her, the zoo staff waited for her maternal instincts to subside somewhat before removing the eggs.
去年二月，母蛇逐漸大腹便便，動物園為她照超音波後確定懷孕，在產下卵的兩個禮拜內，母蛇強烈地護衛蛋寶寶，工作人員誰也不敢觸怒雌威，等她母性稍退後才敢將蛋取出。
