Wish me luck.

I am assuming the one on the left is on it's end, but they all look nice. Good luck with them.

Congratulation on your clutch.
I'm getting into burm and was just wondering how big your female is i thought they have bigger clutches.
My female is going on 2 years old and is 8 feet long weighting roughly around 30 pound is my female going to give a clutch roughly that size?

Well, yes they can have bigger clutches. My female is around 12' long. Still a little young in my opinion and first time clutches are usually smaller. Gotta get em big to get the big clutches.

In my experience, a younger 12 ft. female will typically drop between 25 and 30 eggs for a first clutch. It is best to wait until burmese are at least 3 years of age before breeding, regardless of length. I had an 8 year old female I acquired in a trade many years ago that was 12.5 feet and she dropped 42 fertile eggs that all hatched except two. The interesting thing was that all the eggs were about 75% normal size.
