I agree, Bushviper. 14 in one day is pushing it :smt018

What they found are follicle not eggs. These are prepared years in advance.

That would be like cutting a woman open and saying she could have had 4000 children. Yes she has that many ova in her but they are not developed.

A number of reptile related sites are calling BS on this.

What are they going to think of next? I bet this worked for all those uneducated monkeys to get more numbers on their side!
