Just had a quick look and a litter of 33 has been recorded previously. It is the highest official litter recorded thus far (so you've equalled the record), however there was apparently one litter of 67 :shock: although this was not officially confirmed.

shes actually a wild one that lives at our place.The other day she seemed very lethargic and slow so I put her in a large tub with warmth etc for the night,and if she wasnt better Id take her to the wildlife hospital in the morning.So I checked on her later and there was 33 pink tongues everywhere.She was so skinny,little buggers drained all of her reserves.It honestly didnt occur to me that she was gravid,but looking back hmmmm.Anyway I have released them on my propery as I have 10 acres which is partly rainforest,hence heaps of snails and slugs. And they wont have to worry about eating baited snails cause we dont use any baits.

 

[Nephrurus]

Excellent. You're very lucky to have them so close to where you live.
