first clutch for this girl

I awoke to saturday morning to find that my 07 female leopard rat had laid two large eggs. Not to bad for her first time. Now the long wait. I've never bred these before. The size of the eggs compared to the female is amazing.

She's about thirty inches. The pics are pretty bad, I didn't want to disturb her to much. The eggs are three inches long.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how much that leopard resembles the new cornsnake morph called the 'tessera'?

Not much bigger than my persians, I didn't realize situla were that small but they are both in Zamensis now so I guess it makes sense. Good luck with the eggs!
