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.

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
