    smallest clutch...

    So I was reading about the "Ball pythons in the wild" dvd and it was mentioned that they found a Female Ball python that layed 17 or 18 eggs!!! holy cow!
    Just out of curiousity though... what's the smallest clutch of eggs that you have seen/heard of layed by a ball python...

    how many ended up hatching?

    Just a random question that I figured I'd throw out there....

    Smile Re: smallest clutch...

    3 good eggs out of a 1100 gram female. looking back on it, this girl was to small to breed. but was so excited about breeding something at the time I did it with little knowledge of the correct way to the do things. I will breed no female less than 1800 grams and thats kinda small the way I think now. all 3 eggs hatched.

    Are you counting slugs as eggs? I had a friend that had a 4 egg clutch, 3 slugs and 1 good egg.
