XL Fresh Eggs in the Oven

MikeSkipRocks Apr 18, 2010 07:51 PM

My female angel just layed some huge eggs, two or three the size of softballs and the rest are just big except for one little guy who probably wont make it. There are around 30 eggs total. Hard to get a count because they are in a cluster and very much stuck together. I wanted to catch her in the act to keep them separate but I took my eye off the ball for one day and she snuck them in on me. Anyhow this is her second clutch in 3 years. She wouldnt breed last season, guess she needed a break. It seemed to do her some good because these eggs look awesome. I've got my fingers crossed for some twins in those big eggs and that everything goes off without a hitch.

Side note- the female "angel" is a 14ft albino het-granite and the male "graffix" is a 9ft albino granite. Their last clutch produced some absolutely stunning albino granites with zero fade out and nice fat granite markings and the albino het-granites that took after their mother were very nice to look at also. They are a great match one that i hope to keep going in the future. I also have a regular granite female that should hit 12ft by next season "bell" also has zero washout and is an amazing snake she is so beautiful you want to take a closer look and thats when she bites you lol sometimes. She and graffix should make quite a match also. Here is an older pic of bell she has sure put some size on since then, She is my mammal disposal machine lol whenever another snake turns down a meal she is always hungry for more.

Congratulations on the eggs! I'm glad to hear that you're breeding is selective, geared toward a specific pattern/trait, and not just breeding anything/everything just for the heck of it.

Best wishes!
