You actually mean "hobby Hondos", and not "hondurensis".

There are hardly ANY truly authentic L.t.hondurensis in this entire hobby, even though you might think there are hundreds of thousands of them out there in the general hobby mainstream. They are virtually all different intergrade percentages of polyzona, stuarti, and of course hondurensis and even abnorma and oligozona. There can also be other odd stuff that idiot's decide to toss in their projects too in certain lines such as Pueblan milksnakes, Nelson's, etc.... I saw a Hondo x Pueblan cross being sold as a "Honduran" milksnake just yesterday unfortunately. Their intergrade percentages will vary depending on their past and more immediate lineages...

Anyway though, my typical 4 to 5 plus foot Hobby Hondos generally have anywhere from 7 to 14 eggs, but it can really depend on many factors. It depends on the eggs shape themselves and also the diameter of the females. They can lay anything from ovals to "bananas". I had a small female lay only 4 eggs that were over 4 inches long!..LOL!
