I was lucky enough to get this clutch of 10 eggs on February 3, 2004. It's my first clutch in 2 years.

congrats Robert and I hope I share your fortune here soon.
Can you share the age and size of the female?

Thanks...

Hi Dean,

She is a 99 female that I held back. She is not very big and was a slow feeder and a slow grower. She is about 2-3 inches in diameter and about 4-5 feet long. She never switched from mice to rats which is why I think she is still small.

Also of interest is that I never saw her copulate. I saw several other females copulate over two shed periods, but those females did not become gravid.

Congratulations, Robert! That doesn't look like vermiculite clutch is set in. If not, what are you using? Thanks.

The incubation medium is perlite. It is an inorganic material used for gardening. It comes 100% dry.

The moss on the eggs is from the lay box which contains moist moss.

Thanks.

Glad to hear you are still producing them. I purchased a male from you 2 years ago. I live in South Florida and my boy gets more beautiful by the second. Anyhow congrats on the start, may all your eggs hatch before you count them.
Sincerely,
Roly
