Laid these eggs??? Since it is Easter time and breeding season, I wonder if anyone is good at eyebelling which snake species laid what egg. These are all Lampropeltis, there is only one milksnake egg in the set can you pick which one?

Egg #1( sorry for being blurry pic camera was runnin out of juice)

Egg #2

Egg #3

Egg #4

Happy egg guessing!

My guess goes towards one of the Eastern kings or florida king. Those things look big.

I guess everytime someone guesses I will give hints....Actually none of the eggs are L.g.getula or L.g.floridana.

Eggs in Picture #3 or #4 are Thayeri........

Very good John, but which one is thayeri? (hint: the other used to be classified as mexicana also)

"(hint: the other used to be classified as mexicana also)"

That only leaves two possibilities then, so I have a 50-50 chance here..LOL!

I will roll with L. ruthveni?..

Lmao....that's why I cropped the pics, I really wanted to wait and post all four clutches with out posting any pics prior but I was too excited....Btw the way that female thayeri ate tonight..

Yea, I guess that made it pretty easy....You and John are right, Clutch 3 is L.ruthveni and clutch 4 is L.m.thayeri....But can you guys pick which one is the L.triangulum.??? Making it easy as you already know two...

Jimmy Tintle

Yeah, the hint made it much easier for sure..LOL!

This is purely a guess only because they seem smaller, so I will say pic #1 is the L.t.t. eggs..

Nope, actually #2 is L.t.campelli eggs, it's a pretty weird clutch 'cause all the eggs are different sizes. The big one in the pic is triple the size of another one. I was kinda shocked at the big difference in the size of the eggs from her.

And #1 is L.p.knoblochi
