The Egg Laying Percentage Thread

Couldn't think of a clever title, but anyway, I thought it would be interesting to have a thread like this on the forum.

For all of those who have bred before, even if you've only bred one season and only a couple of snakes, please feel free to participate. I would like for those who care to partake in the thread to list the year of the breeding season, how many females were bred and how many actually laid eggs. Please only input information if you were actually trying to breed and it wasn't an accidental clutch. I'll do my 2012 season for example.

2012
3 females
3 clutches

I encourage everyone to participate, that way we can get some nice estimates on how many females we can ROUGHLY expect to lay eggs if bred. Granted, everyone is different. Those with more experience know tips and tricks on how to increase their success rates, but either way, I think this thread can help somewhat.

Thanks!

2012
3 females
3 clutches
Black pastel x normal 9 eggs
Enchi x spider 7 eggs
Enchi x normal 5 eggs

How many eggs per clutch would be neat too.

Great responses. I'd like to see some info on some of you breeders who have 30+ snakes.

Hit up muddoc with a PM with a link to the thread. That's Tim Bailey. He's a statistics guy and keeps that sort of data with his collection.
