The last clutch this girl dropped was her first and was with a much smaller male (5'). Only 2/5 eggs were fertile..exact ratio I got after he bred a different female. This boy is 7' and as girthy as an Indigo so I'm curious if the combination of a bigger, more robust male and this not being her first clutch will result in higher egg count and fertility.

I'm also always amazed how much the females swell up during copulation..they must have the hemipenes from hell! She started to shed after a good spraying and he didn't wait for her to finish. They were locked up w/a big ring of shed skin bunched up at their connection point! Not in this pic but after they unlocked she commenced to shed and the next lock-up interrupted the process.
