So far it looks as though there are 21 good eggs and 1 slug.The slug was removed,but left in this shot to compare.

very awesome. congratulations. yes I think you'll be needing gloves. I don't own a matlocks or any python for that matter but i was checking one out on my trip to the local shop,the only respetable one I've seen and thats because its small, for some carefresh and i held the one that they had and well lets just say I entered the bite club. My first hit and it wasn't even my own herp. but yeah Congrats again.

Very nice. I have a pair copulating as I type this. I hope my female will drop some eggs as well. She is not quite as bulky as your girl though.

[moperri]

Awesome Chris that rocks , keep me in mind when it is baby time

[C.Marshell]

Thanks everyone!This is a real treat for me,cause i don't work with many species of Python so it's always quite a thrill to see eggs!
Jeff,you can just send me your wonder gloves if you are done with them.lol

Cascarow,good luck with your pair..and Moe ,of course I'll keep you in mind bud!

Wow this is great news!!
congrats and best of luck :)

[Alicewave]

Wheeee! What a nice present. Are they laid with the blue dots or is that a marking to know which end is up? (Sorry if that's a stupid question) Good luck to you!

[C.Marshell]

Thanks again everyone!..Alice,the eggs were marked upon removing the female,so that when i seperated them to put in the egg box I would not disturb the orientation of the egg,in realation to how it was in the clutch.:)

I have a baby macklots and they don't half nip a lot. Doesn't urt at the mo though, his teeth are far too small!

[C.Marshell]

Thanks again everyone for all the kind words:) Joe,I have never put a tape on the female,but she has to be pushing the 7' mark.

[Jamie]

They look great...best of luck. How long do they incubate for before hatching.

Jamie

[Joe]

[C.Marshell]
