First BP eggs...of 2010 and ever.

This is my first clutch of ball python eggs ever. This female was bred to a male Pastel. She weighed about 2800 grams before laying. She laid 12 eggs weighing 1087 grams. I've got 2 more females that just ovulated in the past week (Albino x Het Albino and Yellowbelly/Pinstripe/Pastel/Bumblebee x Normal).

congrats! hope you have much more success... PEACE...

Congrats! Those are some nice looking eggs!

WOW 12 eggs. Nice! I bet you're stoked. I hope my big girl lays 12 eggs. :gj:

WOW...first clutch 12 eggs!!! That's like your first snake being the Panda Pied :rolleye2: Congrats, here's to 12 pastels!!!:gj:

Very cool congratulations on your first eggs Jeff and to many more! :gj:

Nice first clutch! Congrats. I love the pics of mommies coiled around thier eggs.

I'm wishing i get that many eggs my first go around. I have a 2300 gram female though that should be up to the task come next winter...

That's a nice clutch! Congratulations!!!

Wow, I want a clutch of 12 eggs this year! Congratulations, I hope its the first of many!

Congratulations, and good luck with all your baby pythons to come!

Very cool!! Love to see that. Good luck with the eggs and the rest of your breeding.. :gj:

big girl laid a big clutch, congrats

Thanks everyone. I was pretty suprised when she laid this many. She took her sweet time laying too...37 days after her pre lay shed. I've got my fingers crossed for good odds.

My other 2 females that ovulated are smaller (2400 grams and 1900 grams), so I probably won't see another clutch that big this year.

Congrats Jeff! :gj: Hoping to see a similar site over here soon...

wow congrats and good luck.

WOW, what a fantastic first clutch! I don't think eggs come any better looking than those either :O. Best wishes for continued success!!!!

That's a nice sized clutch for a first time, haha. Congrats and good luck!

That is a killer first clutch! Hope you got a good size hatchling rack ;)

Congrats and best of luck with all your breedings:snake:

Yea...I still need to get one of those, lol. I can move my future breeders to a Vision rack and use the homemade rack for hatchlings if I have to...but that's only a temporary fix. I have a bunch of snakes that should lay this year. :D

Thanks everyone.

Twelve, nice looking eggs on your first clutch..... SWEET!!! Good luck!! :D

I'm pretty sure this is her first clutch too. I picked her up at a local pet store earlier this year. Someone got her as a hatchling and I guess they couldn't keep her anymore.

That is so cool! You must of freaked when you saw so many eggs. :O Good luck and keep us posted.

Awesome!

12 Eggs! That's a HUGE first clutch! Congrats!

grats on the dozen egss I can only hope my female het pied does half that good considering she and a few others are mazed on my current scale..at about 2k and i had numberous locks so far with her and thehet male. This is my first planned breeding this year. the other has been a we'll see if anything happens type wit h my albino to a rescued normal thathad about 14-18 months with me and she bigger looking than my het pies female.

Good luck with the eggs Jeff. Will you be keeping alot of the female pastels?

What a way to start. Good job!!!

Wow---It's early!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Congrats on your first clutch. If you think that was exciting, wait until they start to pip. Althoug I must admit, the next 56 days are going to be very loooooooooong.

I will probably keep a female pastel since it'll be my first clutch. That female pastel that's being difficult ate twice in a row...for the first time (her sister is 3X her weight now...).
