Eight egg clutch! What's your largest clutch so far?

[For Goodness Snakes]

Hey Doc,

I just had a 4200 gram 15 year old normal drop a 14 (one slug) egg clutch, she has clutched for me 10 years in a row and has produced well over 100 babies.

I have found that heavy feeding during the breeding season and reaching that perfect confirmation is the biggest factor when it comes to average clutch size, this year we're on track to drop several double digit clutches. The average eggs per clutch so far this season is 7 and I hope to see that number grow to 8 or 9 eggs per clutch by the end of this year. I have another double digit clutch due to drop from a 2000 gram female in the next few days, I palpated 12 eggs in her, but she is so full that I can't really tell, she's about ready to explode. My first year females have averaged 7 eggs per clutch and one of them my double visual pied clown just dropped an 8 egg clutch, the only negative to the story is that 4 of the 8 eggs were slugs.

Here is a link to the video showing the 14 egg clutch and a few others.

I hope everyone is having a great season.

Thanks for sharing Brian! Looks like you will have a great season this year! I've been so busy lately I haven't had enough time to film lockups/eggs. Looking forward to all your hatchlings!

Had a 2012 female lay 9 eggs this year. It was her first clutch, she was pushing 2800g.

So far 7 eggs, and biggest clutch to date

Hey Doc,

I just dropped my second 14 egg clutch of the season, just like the first 14 egg clutch there was one slug.

So far this season I've dropped 16 clutches and the average count per clutch is 8 eggs, I'm very happy with this seasons results so far.

I hope all is well.

My very firts clutch was of 10. That female laid 9 the next year and has not produced since, like 3 or 4 years ago.
