OUCH! Statistically I should have gotten mojaves and mojavecombos from this clutch...I got owned! LOL Luckily I have three more double codom x mojave clutches hatching this week!

Remember, animals don't read genetic books or do math! =)

Also here's one of my gravid females due to lay soon, can you guess how many eggs?

Cool pic! Seven eggs?

I see 7. Bummer on the other clutch.

I also see seven eggs, but from previous palpation I thought I felt six, but it can be difficult for females over 2,500-3,000 grams. On the exciting clutches I try to be patient but it's tough! I might just take a quick peek using the ultrasound tonight

The gravid female ended up laying 7 eggs a few weeks back. She is still coiled around them as I'm testing a few maternal incubation temperatures/techniques this year. Her average temperature (probe within her coil) is around 84-85F.
