Eight egg clutch! What's your largest clutch so far?

Thanks everyone for the responses! I forgot to ask in the initial question, how old are the females that produce your largest clutch? Everyone always talks about size but in my experience- genetics, feeding, and age play such an important role in clutch size! My best producing females are 7-10+yrs old and can produce 7 to 10 or more eggs several years in a row.

My Enchi girl that gave me 11 last year was her first clutch ever - she hatched in January 2013. The big normal girl that gave me 11 last year is at least 8 years old.

Oh well scratch that 11

13 Good eggs from one of my very first female, my pied project founder a 2006 Het Pied female who usually weighs in at 3800/4000 grams.

Egg average 102 grams each.

Wow! That's incredible! Congrats!

Deborah is setting the bar high.

My biggest was 10. Last year 8. Same female, it was her first years breeding. She was 2 last year and now 3. Wanna say she was 2500 grams or so before laying this year. Last year she was 1800 something.

I hope all is well.

On May 26th I had a 14 egg clutch, 13 viable eggs and one slug.

When I first started breeding (in 1999) I got a female from some crackhead kid who didnt want her anymore. Couldnt even tell me how old she was. Big girl "Hermione" was sweet as pie. When I first got her she was 1800 g. A few years later at about 3800-4200g she laid 12 good eggs and one slug for me. That was the biggest clutch I ever had.
