Big Clutch?

Just had a female childreni drop 18 fertile eggs.......just curious as to what biggest childreni clutch others have had?

Until now my biggest clutch from childreni was 12....so i was a bit surprised....but happy :wink:

RE: Big Clutch?

18 sounds pretty awesome

14 (16 including the slugs if I remember correctly) is my best with childreni chidreni.

I'm sure I'm going to get 25 sometime in the next few years from the little guys I got last season

RE: Big Clutch?

Bowbow,

I have heard of clutches as big as 21 from the large Darwin slugmonsters. These childreni sometimes grow as big as a large mac(over 4ft) but by god their ugly little blitters compared to normal childreni.

Maybe she is a Darwin childreni at that size. Do you know where she came from as a matter of interest.

Not sure of her origins but her sister(which i also have) was unpatterned from birth and is alot smaller. The unpatterned female has never had more than 10 eggs per clutch.

my childreni had 7 eggs last season.
This season she has a lot more condition and grown as well. She is huge compared to last season.
I have read they only have 10 max. so 18 is unreal. (highlights lack of data in old books!)
congrats duga, good to see ya get a win.

Is this an abnormally high number of slugs from a Kid?
