First clutch ever being laid right now!

I opened my girl's tub this morning, not expecting to see anything different than what I've been seeing...I was in for a big surprise!!!
Look what greeted me when I opened her tub! :banana::banana::banana::banana:

Only 4 eggs are out right now, so I'm going to class and then when I get back I will check on her again.
I'm glad she finally decided to lay, now that she is on day 38!

How many eggs do you think I will get out of this 3000 gram girl? I would LOVE to hit double digits, but honestly I am happy with any eggs!

Congratulations!

Awesome! I'm gonna guess 9 eggs :gj::gj:

I think she might still have one or two left in her, but so far the count is 9 eggs and 1 boob egg!

She is being very defensive. I am going to give her a while more to see if she will lay that last one then I'm going to collect the clutch.

Any tips for taking an angry mom off the eggs?

Congrats! How exciting! :)


You can cover her head with a small towel and pick her up.
I suggest rinsing her to remove the egg scent as well as her tub once you've done moving them to the bator.

Wow, nice clutch! Congratulations!:gj:

Congrats, looking good so far. You must be stoked!

I usually throw a towel or snake bag over the female and lift her off the eggs. You may have to unwrap her tail from the clutch. Replace the substrate, wash out the tub, etc. Try to feed her tomorrow. The faster you can get her feeding again the faster she'll put weight back on. Very nice sized clutch, congratulations.

Nice size clutch!!! What was the paring

Wow! Awesome clutch! So far I have removed my angry moms successfully without getting tagged. I didnt use a towel or anything but I am having trouble formulating how to explain my method of removing the snake. I think Markus Jayne had a video of how they removed the moms from the eggs and thats kinda how I do it... But I cant remember if it was them exactly. I was hoping she would lay yesterday cuz my guess was day 37 and I love being right... Congrats! :gj:

good luck
i turned 17 today

That is so awesome! Congratulations!!! :)

Alright, using the towel method I removed her without getting tagged!! I'm so used to how huge she has been the last few months that now she just looks so tiny. I didn't weigh her immediately because I could tell she was already very stressed so I will be weighing her tomorrow.

Final count! 12 eggs!!! One is a boob egg but all 12 candled with strong veins and are all set up in the incubator and ready to go for the next 55-60 day :)

He looks a little darker than he usually is in these pics...he was off food for 4 months when these were taken. He just recently started feeding again.

Thanks! I'm sooo excited, even if I won't be popping out any crazy combos quite yet :)

Awesome :D. I got only 7 eggs from my 3000g+ female, but they are huge (they all weigh 939g) which is way over 100g per egg :O.

Congrats! She didn't make you wait that long ;)
