Giant Kingsnake Eggs!!!

BlueKing Jun 01, 2007 04:56 PM

Here's a pic of the eggs I mentioned in an earlier post. I'm finally back in country and able to take pics again. Sorry for the wait.
A recap: These eggs are from my largest Eastern King female, a 5 footer. She was bred to my largest Eastern male who is currently just over six foot long (Both are eating medium rats with occasional mice to mix up the diet).
She laid 12 eggs, not a lot but they're HUGE! Two of them were slugs, and one more is questionable. So hopefully all nine of these will (should) make it...
These are the biggest Kingsnakes eggs I've ever seen/had. A couple of these eggs are three inches long, the largest measuring 3.25"!

I can't wait to see them man. I am also waiting on a clutch from my bigger locale Ga female and I already got one from her half sister of the same locale. I also have 2 more getula holding one generic eastern and one patternless goini. The last clutch from the goini only had two good eggs put both were almost patternless, so if it goes well I may end up with a few patternless and striped.
