Breeding W. Hognose Snakes

My pair of Western Hognose are about 3 years old, and this is the first year they have bred. I surprisingly got 9 eggs from my female. Sadly all were ruined when I sent the incubator crashing to the floor about 3 weeks after they were laid. A week or so later all were dead save one. Hopefully that one will survive. My Baird's rat Snake eggs seemed to fare better, and I only lost two of them in the fall to the floor. (What a shame.)

I am curious to determine to chances of double clutching in Western Hognose. Is it usual for Western Hognose to double clutch? The female has regained all her pre-gravid weight, and then quite a bit more so I am not concerned that she would not do well if she double clutched.


Thanks,
