Here you go Jim. I was starting to get worried. But she started pushing them out during the night. For the benifit of everyone else, she is a very robust female honduran. She is a little shorter than most hondos but she makes up for it in girth. She a breeding loan from JWSporty. She was bred to the same male as my female. So far there are 1 bad, 2 good.

Congrats Jim.

Congrats on the clutch Brian (and Jim) - hope this is just the start of a big clutch.

Interesting that a deep bodied female produced such long eggs - blows one of my theories out of the water - that long thin eggs come from younger, thinner females! It is quite a large diameter too - guess that will be a huge baby,

Congrats and looking for more photos,

Marc: The female i got from you is not breeding this year. She was 67 grams when i got her from you last july. She's topping out at 250g now.

She's pushing out #6 Jim. She pushed out 3 huge eggs now. I guess i know why she is taking so long between eggs. Poor girl.
