First clutch right on time

dave763 May 07, 2008 08:22 AM

30 days after POS. 8 eggs so far, looks like she's not finished laying. We are very excited. Now comes the real wait.
Thanks to all who helped me get this far.

Update...10 eggs total, no duds I have not candled them yet. It was like christmas at our house this morning.
My wife was still sleeping when I woke her and said "we got python eggs, she jumped out of bed like a little kid on christmas morning. I think she is more excited than I am. LOL

Congrats! It definately doesn't look like she was done. Next time, I'd shut the rack as soon as you noticed she still had more eggs. Take the picture later. Just an opinion.

Thanks for the advice. We removed her from her clutch then realized she had one more still inside. 10 minutes later she was all done. She dropped the last one in the water bowl, I got it out of the water bowl as soon as it was out all the way.

Thanks Ryan. She is 5 years old. This was her first time as well as mine. It was also the first for my male spider. now if I can just get better odds than SPJ01 did on his spider x normal clutch.(all normal ...bummer) Maybe the odds will even out and I'll get all spiders...lol(dream on)

Congrats on the big clutch! 10 is a good sized one. That first pic looks like she ready to take an arm off. What was she bred to?
