    Eggs laid 10 days after pre-lay shed!?!

    Well I wasn't expecting eggs from this girl until the end of June, but I came home from work today and found her coiled around 3 HUGE eggs She ovulated on 5-6-10 and had her pre-lay shed on 5-28-10. All three are fertile and the clutch total weight was 488 grams, that's over 160 gram average for each egg!
    So, what's the earliest everyone's gotten eggs from a girl? and what was your biggest egg/clutch weight?

    WOW that some big eggs. I bet you will end up with either twins in them or some really large babies. I love to see pics of them next to a more normal sized egg. I also wonder if this meand they might hatch earlier or later ( take longer since they were laid so early )

    I certainly hope it doesn't take them longer to come out, that'd make me sad!
    Here's a pic of one of the eggs next to a "normal" sized egg that's due to hatch in a couple weeks.

    I had two lay even longer than that after their pre-egg lay. I think it was over two weeks.

    Thanks, I'll definitely post it up when they hatch. The shells on the eggs are kind of thin which worries me, but they have good veins, so we'll see.
