    Think about how many BPs are out in the wild. Any of the females could lay 18 fertile eggs and we'd never know. I think it's possible. I think it would be more likely to happen in the wild where we can't see rather than in captivity. Just based on the sheer number of wild BPs.

    Humans have had 4, 5, 6, or more babies in one pregnancy. No one thought that was possible until it happened.

    Ok I agree that it is not impossible.
    As for the humans with sextuplets, I believe most if not all of those cases were related to fertility drugs.

    I think the record, per Kevin McCurley's book, was 17. I suppose this must've been a Volta female since they are HUGE.
