I know some have had bigger but 14 is my largest clutch so far. Mom was hatched in 1996 but this is only her third clutch (she also laid 14 in 2007 and I think it was 8 somewhere around 2001). I moved this winter and find it interesting that this difficult to get to produce girl picked this year after she spent most of November a little cooler and drier than I would have liked. Wonder if her ancestors come from a part of the wild range where a little cooling is actually helpful to induce breeding. The clutch weighed 1,598 grams and mom weighed 2,680 grams after laying.
