Record clutch size? Well, not really...

Matt J Apr 19, 2006 03:52 PM

BUT... my female Borneo deposited 26 eggs today! Now, (as always), I'm a bit pessimistic and not sure if they all will be good ones... but I'm going to keep my fingers, eyes, toes, arms, T's, 7's and Z's crossed! In three weeks I'll know what the score is for sure. FUN stuff!

Love...

Pain...

More pain!

The wait........

Hopefully MORE to come in 60 days! Time will tell...

Nice job. VPI stock? The record clutch size I heard of is 42 from a borneo. Good luck.

Thanks again, Rich! I'm hoping the 'snake gods' shine some good luck on these eggs.

Just Kidding!! Congrats Matt, maybe the odds will be with you this year and 25 or so of those will be the nice ones Can't wait to see more of those little babes in Daytona! WOOO.. I'm hoping I'm still 2-3 weeks behind you with one female, but who knows.

She laid 3 more for a total of 29! I'm stoked... just hope they make it. I ALWAYS worry too much. Keep us posted when you get eggs man!

Matt out

p.s. - If I do hatch that many 'special' one's you better get ready to take 'em on breeding loan!
