The only males i had large enough to do anything were my blonde pastel and my axanthic, so i guess i will find out in 2 months.

Congrats on a memorable clutch!!! I would think it safe to believe that you will get a Pastel or 2 if he fathered the clutch. lol

I had an 11 egg clutch yesterday -- followed by a 10 egger today that I thought were HUGE -- guess not!!! Congrats again on an EXCEPTIONAL clutch.

Hey those are good numbers, nothing to feel bad about, 10 amd 11 egg clutches are not common. My previous record was a 14 egg clutch, i think it will be hard for me to beat this one. Good luck on your eggs, George

George:

Congratulations on having such a huge clutch.

I'll keep you informed of how many eggs my 5000 gram female layes.

Very cool.....

WOW! Congrats on that huge clutch. I'll keep my fingures crossed that maybe you'll split the difference and get hatchlings from both possible males.

Thanks Alice, hey how's that Sunglow you got from me last year doing? Mine colored up pretty good and is really gaining alot of side color. The Pied i picked up from you is doing well and hopefully will be fathering some clutches this coming season.Kep in touch, thanks George

George, the sunglow is just amazing! The coloring is outstanding and it is growing like a weed.

Glad to hear the pied is doing so well. He was a beauty!

Congrats.
Here is a pic of a 16 egg clutch from last year.
The same female is carrying 14 eggs this year after only one copulation with a male and should lay in another month. Can never have too many of these big girls!

Meant to include this pic of this girl in the post above to show her size.

georget22 May 23, 2009 06:44 PM

She is a good size girl any idea on her age? I have personally had 3 females over 5 ft. One was 15 years ago and she was an imported animal and did great,one is a friend of mine who had had hers for 17 years. She gave me 14 when she was 14 years old. This girl is around 6000 normally, she was approximately 4000 when i acquired her 3 years ago. She is around 5'3, giant balls are cool, you don't see alot of them, thanks for the pics and reply, George

georget22 May 23, 2009 06:53 PM

This was my 14 egg clutch from years ago, her ovulation was very subtle and she was not huge by any means, but she came through for me. She was 14 years old when she laid and it was her first breeding. Thanks George

georget22 May 23, 2009 06:33 PM

Thanks, yes it is exciting on the large girls, you know the potential is there for something special. I am hoping you get your site up and running soon, i love Lavs. Thanks George
