My bredli had 30 good eggs and 6 slugs as her first clutch last year. Will let you know what she has this year (hopefully).

I have had 29 Olives, and the next season the female died of ruptured ovaries with 31 eggs. I have had 36 Bredls several years running. 41 Diamonds, twice. 29 Blond Macs once. 25 Coastal Taipans 4 times. 29 Common bluetongues once I consider all these to be huge clutch sizes

yeah they all hatched no worries, im expecting as many or more from her this season as she had a rest last year. Her first season was 32 all firtile, infact to this day she has never dropped a slug.
Shes a big girl.

Wow that's awesome guys, how old is the info for average clutch sizes in Rick Shines, Snakes- a natural history?
I am just wondering if it is a bit outdated or not.
P.s Thanks for posting everyone!

I have seen a clutch of just over 50 diamond eggs(I think it was 52 from memory). I was a fairly large female but the eggs very fairly small. About 15 were slugs and only about half the remainder hatched. Thats by far and away the biggest clutch of pythons i've ever come across. I didn't actually believe it till I counted the eggs myself.
