First Clutch-8 Eggs!

Yes! Finally! I have fantasized about the day when I could at last have my own "First clutch" thread and now it's happening!

Last night I was checking on my 2 yr old normal and lo and behold she was wrapped around a bunch of pearly white eggs. I had bred her a few times to my butter male starting last October, but I wasn't sure if she was gravid because this is my first time and I missed her ovy.
I was pretty surprised that she had 8 eggs because this is her first breeding and she isn't that big but 8 eggs is great!
I also think there is one slug in there, when I candled it, there were only faint veins in one spot and nothing else. It was also outside her coils when I checked on her.

Congrats :). Can't wait to see babies XD

Congrats! I hope to be in the same boat here shortly. I wish you lots of butters!

Congrats! Good luck getting a few female butters to pair back to the daddy!

Congrats! 8 eggs is fantastic for a first clutch and a virgin snake! What was her weight when you started pairing?

Congrats on your first clutch and 8 eggs is great!:gj:
Hopefully we will be getting ours in the next few days.

If it has veins then it isnt a slug. Crossing my fingers it makes it! Im waiting for my virgin ivory to drop in a few weeks and Id love a clutch that size.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Thats great! :):gj:

Hhmmm... when I started pairing, she was about 1600-1700 and by the time she laid, about 2000.
