One of my Vandeventer females produced an unexpectedly large clutch today, 7 eggs with a total mass of 698g - almost 100g per egg and a mass greater than some of my adult kingsnakes. Needless to say I am excited. I know its sort of odd, but incubating eggs is one of my favorite parts of herpetoculture.
