large clutch

What is the highest number of eggs that anyone has reported for a Honduran Milksnake? I recently had a female carrying 21 eggs. 6 burst as she was laying them, several were slugs, and some more developed fly maggots. Fortunately I have 4 good ones left. My understanding is that this is quite unusual. I will post the photos and radiograph shortly.

I didn't have such a good year this year with my Hondurans and only got two clutches. Both females laid 14 egg clutches and all hatched.
Thanks

I had one lay 16 good eggs this year that are at about 60 days now and all are still good. Randy W.
