Big hoggie clutch

HognoseCrazy Apr 25, 2012 04:19 PM

This girl has just laid 42 eggs and 30 ish look good.
Last year she laid 39 and then 32, but most were infertile as my male was only just over 40g.
What's the most you've had ?

She was about 800g after burmation, this is her now

Has anyone else had a clutch this big ?

That's a lot of eggs!

The most I've had laid were 19 and all hatched. The rough average amount for my girls has been 10-14 eggs per clutch.

Good luck, I hope you have a high fertility rate with that clutch.

I hatched 32 eggs from a female last year and 29 from the same female the year before. This year I got 36 from her. This is her 5th straight year laying large clutches and large 10 gram eggs.

She's a monster at around 700 grams. Her daughters are very large and lay large clutches also.

I had a small 300 gram female lay 26 eggs that all hatched then she double clutched and laid something like 19 or so that all hatched. She laid very small eggs and the babies sucked to get started because they were tiny little things.

Good luck with your clutch.
