It has been my experience that they will lay 1 or 2 with the occasional "very rare" report of 3 being laid.

I have a CB female I produced back in March of 1997 deposit 7 eggs in less than a 12 month period (the past 12 months) with 6 of the eggs hatching! Most of my females do not produce like that. Two to four is more in line with things.

p.s. - Included is a pic of her. She's named 'Starburst' for an obvious reason. Well, at least it's obvious to me!

Matt.. apparently each species has a "jawdropper" show up occasionally.. one showed up in your incubator a few years back. That is one beauteous Pancake. (I'm sure you've heard that before!!)
I feel the same about this Leopard.. just 3"! (11/03)
You gotta love 'em!

Many thanks! Yeah, a few friends have said that before.
But... I have one I think is even better!!! I need to clean her up and take a current pic. She is simply outstanding in ALL ways!
AND... I have one more tort I think is possibly better than both, but that's my secret. Hehehe... No, not a color mutation. Just something I'm in awe of.
I really like that Leopard you have there. They are always such amazing looking adults. Best of luck with it.
Many thanks for the kind words!

Another country heard from! Yeah, she takes the cake. No pun intended! BUT... that extra scute thing?! You better send her to me pronto since she it obviously a genetic freak and needs me to care for her. Hehehe...
