4-6 average (give or take one or two in either direction). It really depends on the snake.

I have never gotten 4 ....never gotten less than 6.......and that is only once or twice........
last year bred 10 females and got 70 good babies.......
average 7......
which I cannot figure out 100% due to the 7 to 11 litters......guess I had a couple duds and maybe (don't remember any last year) dead in eggs.....
........if you get 2 and 4 clutches you are doing something wrong.......like breeding too too small........
and yes I have bred 20 month old females and gotten 7 and 8 eggs....
good luck.........

All the books I've read say 4 - 6 but most people get 6 up to 15 eggs, of course the high end is rarer. When I'm guestimating for the following year I use 6 as my figure.
