egg deposition over 40?

dominik04014 Jun 18, 2010 02:44 AM

Has anyone an egg deposition over 40 eggs? I have one heterodon n. n. which lay 42 eggs.

Giant version?
The female eats rats and is circa 100cm / 3,3 feet.
eggs are also bigger than normal.

Greats from Austria,
Dominik

Got that documented by any chance??? That would certainly be a record breaking clutch bt far... Maybe you are talking about multi clutching in a season and not one sitting???

I had a 29 egg clutch from a 450 gram het albino female. I thought that was a large clutch but 42 is huge.

I've already had 5 go bad on me so I'm down to 24.
