Possible??

[azpythons]

22 ft burmese pythons laying 100 eggs a year?????
the dude at the pet store last time i bought rats was talking bout this.

[mainbutter]

wow.

I mean, I've heard of ridiculously huge clutches from true giants of giants.. But I sort of thought that 50-60 was where they topped out.

I'm not going to call it impossible, I have heard of crazier things being true.

[Denial]

the bigger they are the more eggs they can lay. Ive heard of a few clutches in the 70s

[wilomn]

I know of one clutch that was 88 eggs. It was a BUNCH of babies. Only 66 hatched but that's still a double handful.

[Denial]

I believe sam and theresa bearden have had a clutch that was over 70 babys. Maybe theresa will see this and reply.

brian from bhb had a clutch in the 90's,i think it was 94 eggs or something,a lot of freaking eggs

[chris69]

I´ve heard from the BHB owner, that their Burmese laid more than 100 eggs.
Awesome!!!

i have seen in person a clutch of 102. the mother was 20' +/-. i've been out of contact with the owner/breeder for 7 years, so i couldn't tell you if it was consistent....

that was this particular animal's first breeding attempt

[AjBalls]

Yes it is possible. Problem is you don't see many snakes large enough to do it. Most people are breeding their female snakes at the bare minimum weight/age/length. If they would just wait a little longer, their snake would be much bigger instead of them worrying about it getting back to breeding size because it just laid a clutch.

Our largest was last year-she was 9 years old at the time and she laid 69 good eggs and 1 slug-all 69 eggs hatched. Here she is with her eggs-
