My collection of about 45+ Hondurans, this is what I do.

I have breed a female at 400g and she laid 6 good eggs, they were very long. She was 3 years old. I have waited 3 years to breed females. Some just will not breed and other do but lay infertile eggs. I just took my collection out of brumation and they are all eating up a storm. I have 2 females that are 05 but were finicky eaters and I don't think I will breed them this year.

I already know what a 400g female should look like so I do not weigh all my females anymore, unless I am not sure. Now some of my first times laid good clutches and some did not. Then the second year of breeding and using the same male they all laid good clutches. Just make sure you feed the females until they just do not want to eat after they have breed.

I always make sure my females have locked up at least 3 times, and this is what I have witnessed. They may lock up when I am at work. I have been dealing with Hondos since 1995, and they are my favorite. I have dealt with, Corn snakes, Kingsnakes, but Hondos are my best. I also am dealing with Ball Pythons, small collection and Irian Jayas, small collection. But Hondos make up 95% of my collection. I have about 47 Hondos, 11 Ball Pythons and 5 Irian Jayas.
