Double Clutching!!!
 
Ok,
So I'm not 100% sure how common it is for a western hognose female to lay multiple clutches in a single season, but so far... all my girls but one have done so...
First girl laid 9 bad eggs, and 2 months later laid 8 good ones.
Second girl laid 14 good eggs, and looks like she's about to lay again,
Third girl laid 6 bad eggs and 2 good eggs, just laid another 8 good ones today (40 days later).
Forth girl laid 6 good eggs (hatched just recently), and looks like she may lay again...

Should I be EXPECTING all my girls to lay multiple clutches per season?? (not complaining... just a little shocked to find more eggs this morning...)

It is quite normal for female hogs to double clutch... My female laid 10 good eggs and 2 slugs on 6/17/10 and then laid 9 good eggs on 7/30/10...

Are they double clutching from the same male or two separate males? I will soon have 2.1 poss double het for snow hoggies and wonder if i can have both males introduced to her and possibly have her double clutch from that...or even if i can do both of them anyway and have them both take like i've heard of/seen in some ball pythons...

You can have a female lay a clutch from one male and the second clutch you can use a different male...

I've had some of mine double without reintroducing at all and dropping 11 good eggs as a result.
