FINALLY! First Clutch!

I woke up this morning and caught Tabitha laying on day 37 post shed. She had 7 eggs out and I could tell that she wasn't done. I was expecting one, maybe two more. But When I checked on her an hour later...I was surprised to find 11 healthy eggs and no slugs! Great for a first time mom! The clutch weighed in at 915g, so an average of 83g per egg. Tabitha weighed 1650g after laying and was a trooper allowing me to take her off eggs. No tags, just hisses!

Here are a couple of photos of the eggs in the egg tub. The angles of the pictures are funny but they are not touching the sides.

Oh yea...pairing (though it can be seen on the index card) was a lesser/black pastel/pewter x normal. The black pastel was with her from October until December, the lesser from late February until ovy, and the pewter the couple of months before ovy but no locks were witnessed. Confirmed locks from the black pastel and lesser.

That is a freak'n awesome clutch!

Grats on that load of eggs.

Congrats! Great looking clutch!

No kidding! I'm going to have to build me another hatchling rack (that's a good thing!)! Which is why I'm about to head to home depot xD I'm going to see if it would be cheaper for me to build one or just order another for pick up at the NARBC this weekend from Chris at C-Serpents!

The other girl should lay any day now too. She's much smaller so I'm only expecting 5-6 eggs from her. We'll see xD

Congratulations, on a great first clutch! Now to start the second waiting period.

Bloody hell! That's awesome, hope you get a nice mix of the male genes in there! :D
