Will be interesting to see the difference in size of the babies. Have you weighed the eggs? Looks like the longer ones are larger.

What is the size / age difference between the 2 females that laid those clutches pictured?

Those are similar to the blue beauty eggs, my female laid a week or so ago. She is a first time breeder. Is this the same story as the female who laid these eggs? I know that blue beauty eggs are "normally" normal egg shape.

The "normal" eggs are from a 5.5-foot 6 year old female tri-colour Honduran. The rice-kernel eggs are from an 4 foot 2 year old Albino Honduran.

I've never weighed eggs or things like that. One day. I just try to get them into the incubator ASAP, and then don't think about them for 2 months.

That is exactly like me. I try not to think of them too much since I know for sure that I will want to take a peek in there....but heck...why would I want to do that.....doesn't make a difference...but I still want to do it.....lol...

Those eggs are huge Jeff!! LOL....really hope that you get twins in there!!

Nice comparison pic - I am still betting the long ones are a result of the smaller diameter oviduct in the les mature female - fewer eggs and more room for them to expand in length than in width! Like with Katt's young female.

Sure hope they all produce gorgeous albino babies for you,

Very neat. Keep us posted with the comparison.
