Not as early as expected this year, but I'm not complaining!

Day 10 after PLS, still laying, all 100% HET ALBINO. She's a tri-colour normal and he's a tangerine albino. Should be some lookers and they are all 100% het albinos!! Woo-hoo! Final count to come later tonight........

Thanks Joe!! :)

Should be 10 eggs, and they are HUGE. 2/3 the size of Ball eggs! Biggest I've ever seen. I though this female was going to lay 15+, but seeing how big the eggs are, I knew it would be less. I can count the lumps, and there looks to be 10 exaclty. Oh well. 10 is better than none!

Cheers man! :D

Jeff, 10 eggs is a decent size clutch, your female has got to be between 5' and 6'.

Didn't know you had a tangerine albino male, post some pics of him when you have a chance.

Congrats

Yeah, she's a big old female Marc. She gave 12 eggs the year before last. Can't remember how many last year, its written down somewhere.

Here's a bad shot of the two breeding (or him chasing at least) about 2 months ago:
