22 or 23 eggs on mothers day...

Not sure how many and I don't want to play around with the huge glob of eggs just for that. They all look fertile though.

So far the male is batting a thousand... He's 66 for 66 eggs, from 4 clutches (12, 20, 12 22) half of which he fathered as a small two-year-old.

Maybe I should line breed the offspring to make them even more fertile!

Impressive! Hopefully this clutch will follow the others' leads

Wow, that is impressive. What a great mothers day. Hope all goes well and they all hatch

I thought you were the one that was complaining about infertility!
I have had 4 of my females lay so far......17infertile, 17 fertile, 13 fertile/1 infertile and 22 infertile. the 22 infertile was from my pastel motley whom always lays infertile eggs, and the 17 infertile was from a snake that had a parasite problem this past winter and had been treated a few month prior to laying.

Heh heh, true. I've gotten 12/0, 22/0, 12/3, and 8/3. That's a total of 54 eggs and 6 slugs, or 90% overall fertility. Sounds like I'm beating the average.

However, I expect most or all of the clutch of 8 to grow lots of mold within the next 9 weeks... this female's eggs have a habit of going bad in the middle of incubation for no apparent reason.
