    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey well heres the question, this is my first year breed multi female, I have two huge 13 inch females, and there eggs are about (to compair size) 1 1/2 chicken eggs, i got some new females and i just got a couple clutches , these females are
11 in. and they laid eggs about the size of pingpong balls, id say they are half the size of my other eggs . is this normal? im assuming that the smaller eggs will hatch out smaller babys? could it be the females are from differnt locations? I will take pics of them if you need to better understand the size differnce. all females are housed together and fed the same diet. thanks for the time and help.

oh one more thing, what is the recommended incubation temp? mine are hanging around 81-82.
 
one more thing again,

the clutch sizes for the big females where 8-12 eggs.

the clutch size on the smaller one where only 4-6
 
Sounds like a locality thing.Do you know where yours were originally came from?My cherryheads have never laid more than 3 eggs,but my Venenzuelans lay about nine.I guess the difference is the size.My cherryheads are no larger than 8 inches.My big ones are 12.

check these out.

I just found more eggs, 2 where bad. but got another four small eggs but these are more oval in shape. i think they are good becuse the two bad ones where brown and these four where perfect except for there oval shape.
