Thanks Alan and Jessica.
Here are the pics of the clutches and the Amber laying her 4th egg. There is a 5th clutch underneath the others that you can’t see. I had smaller clutches this year mainly because I had 4 first time mothers who are between 36 and 40 inches (91-101 centimeters) long. My one bigger expected clutch was a bust w/ 26 bad eggs. I believe something was wrong with the male mainly because he regurgitated and died unexpectedly 2 weeks after he stopped breeding!! It was a shock since he seemed so healthy and was eaten just fine. But the sudden death and the fact that the entire clutch that he sired was bad leads me to believe that the problem may have been with him.

Very nice, and good action shot of your amber. It’s funny the way capturing an egg still on the way out has the effect of enhancing the pinkness of the egg, showing its fertility clearly - I have a similar shot from a couple of years ago of my anery who now belongs to Sam. Very sorry to hear about your male, though.
