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,
