BANANA EGGS!!!

DMong Jul 15, 2010 01:24 PM

Geeez!,....

talk about LOOOONG eggs!..LOL!

These were from a fairly small Hondo. This is typical for smaller snake's to lay more elongated eggs to compensate for their diameter, but these were still quite a surprise at 4 inches long.

I hope they hatch without being folded in half!..LMAO!!

Awesome clutch!

Thanks Doug!,.....

yeah, I guess it's okay to be SHAPED like banana's, but I certainly don't need any more yellow colored ones..LMAO!

I've already had a few disappointing dud clutches this season.

It'd be cool if the snakes turned out banana colored!

Cool observation, Doug. Thanks for sharing.

I would absolutely LOVE for the amel Hondo's to hatch out entirely banana yellow!. That would make them a new high-dollar morph to play with!

"Snake eggs are goofy things"

Yep,they sure can be Cole!, funny about them being so long they have curved shapes and bend marks all over them from the female being coiled up too..LOL!

Yeah, nature can be real goofy sometimes..
