>>John, the second piece of info is the most important. Twenty-two is a large number of eggs, and indicative of a corn snake, not a GPR. However, the largeness of the eggs is likely due to the emoryi influence in your creamsicle line. I'm not sure how big the eggs were, but you said bigger than a normal corn's. Just to let you know how big an Emory's eggs can be, the eggs in my Emory's clutch this summer measured 2" X 1" for the most part. They were huge. There were only 7 in the clutch. The babies hatched Aug 6th and are eating two pinks at a time already.

Wow - those are BIG eggs! My gal's wern't quite that big and there was some variation, but they were fiarly large. Also, the 22 egg clutch was produced when she was 4 ft long. One reason I liked working with the Creams was just that - the robust neonates. Most of them started right in on pinks and were up to 2 at a time w/in a couple months.

Wish I'd held back a few. Ce la vie.
