She is a bit thinner so I did the math and found the eggs in her tub, lekker ne. :smt016
The book says 8-14 eggs to be expected

And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids won't walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man, " they'll shout!”

Those eggs dont look viable. Try hatching them in any case.

Well done on getting eggs but unfortunately all of them look infertile to me.

I hope we're wrong tho...

Yeah it is sad getting this far and having yellow eggs. I think me getting the eggs in the first place is a miracle so it's not that bad.
I will hold on to them just to see how long they take to mold ;)

Congratulations, some look fine to me....I only had one clutch of boomslangs, but mine were very discolored just like these. Good luck.

Yes, hatching was no problem. Feeding was a problem with the babies. I know other people have gotten them to eat on their own, but I had for force or assist feed them for several meals before getting even one to eat on its own.
