This egg was laid by a Laevissimus & has been taken next to a normal sized egg which is 21 days a head in incubation to the larger egg - possibly twins?

Plus some various juvie pics.

HOLY MOLY!!

She would have been sore after passing that one!

Will be interesting to see the viability and offspring should it go all the way. Can these eggs be trans-illuminated to check for embryo development and size?

single laid eggs are often double sized, and often just large hatchlings

egg sizes can vary depending on clutch size mostly, these bearded dragons eggs are pretty close in age (days apart), the larger ones were from a clutch of nine eggs from my smallest female, the other two were from a clutch of thirty something from a large female, all hatched fine. Infertile eggs are sometimes double size and can sometimes show no sign of being dead well after hatching date. Did you see the embryo or just the veins?

Hey Jason

I can see veins & possibly embryo (darker matter) - I will see how things go, possibly twins - not the norm for laevissimus as I have been told.
