you guys are getting from hondos and puebs? What about first year versus subsequent years?

Hi,
this year I had a honduran "firsttimer" with 6 good eggs and 3 bad.
I think that the pueblans will have smaller clutches for the first time.

Averages can be determined by genetics, as well as the size of the female. For me, it's:

Pueblans - 4-7 eggs.
Hondurans - 6-12 eggs.

Larger snakes can have larger clutches (although sometimes they lay the same number of eggs, they're just bigger).

It always varies. My 02 campbell gave me 5 big eggs (normal is 7-9), the gravid sockhead (98) gave me 7 big egg. My hondo(about 800 grams) dropped 7 large ones over the weekend, which is the same as last year.

Then you wait and hope they all hatch.
