these are my 4th of july eggs they came out at 688 grams total weight so a average of 98.3 grams each here is a pic of them next to a cam which messures 3 1/2 long X 2 1/2 wide and one of my girl holding them heck a few extras also

No, I would consider them average based on the weight. 7 eggs for a total weight of 688 grams. Less than 100 grams each. One of my first clutches was 8 eggs with the smallest egg just under 100 grams. The other 7 were 104-114 grams each. I have seen others post eggs with higher weights. However, those eggs are not small, just average, typical. I have eggs that are smaller this year. Mostly from first year breeders. Guessing that their weight is in the 70 gram range. As long as their fertile, don't worry about their size.

Those sound average to me, maybe a little less. I generally produce eggs that are right around or a bit over the 100g mark with my largest clutch having been 117g average.

wow you guys must get some huge fricken femals to ly for you my girl was 2000 this year and her previous breeding she had 6 eggs that were averaging about 86 or so grams i have never seen ball eggs this big oh and im not worried about them just meens bigger babies and better chance for twins it would be a small egg i woul dbe worried about.

The weight of about 100grams is average though.

Congrats!!!

For 7 eggs weighing 688gramns thats average.......actually my average is about 100grams per egg.............so they are right there....

They will also gain weight as the embryo developes

yeah the weight was 4 hours after laid im planning on weighing once a week to just see what the weight gain is throughout the incubation

There shouldn't really be any increase in the weight of the eggs during incubation.

those are bigger than I thought ball python eggs would be...never really seen pics of them being in somebody hands...now I am really glad I built my own incubator...wouldn't be able to fit ball python eggs into a hovabator...or at least no more than one clutch of non stuck eggs....

I may have to build a bigger incubator in a couple years..not sure I could fit 3-4 clutches in my current incubator..but that is a few years down the road...
