'The spring has resulted in late mating and therefore late hatching,' she said.
'We are expecting hatching to continue for another couple of months.'

Adelaide recorded its coolest spring in six years and wettest since 1992, the Bureau of Meteorology said.
The SA capital received double the average spring rainfall, with a total of 245mm.
Ms Broadstock posted the video on Tuesday morning and said the snakes are a 'stunning healthy bunch'.
She said both the mother and her 'cute babies' will be released into the wild.
