:err: My Iguana just laid 39 of them...........

Worked nights, woke up about 2 went out to the living room and she was sitting on a mound of freshly lain eggs, removed as many as I could and she just kept on fartin out more, good thing I don't have a male, that could've been 39 hatchlings LOL:twitcy:

Poor thing looks like she's anorexic now :( I can see just about every bone in her body, she's been holding for quite some time and I didn't even know...Silly Reptile!

Here's the fruits of her labour:

Lots of eggs! How big are they and how big is your iguana?

(I can just imagine you trying to raise 39 baby iguanas.:laugh: )

The eggs are about 1.5" long X 3/4-1" Wide. She's about 4.5' long from Snout to Tail.

I've never seen them before. Thanks for posting them! Get a male. I'd have to you know - that's how compulsive I am when it comes to breeding. Of course, I'd probably want to cross her out to a dinosaur or something :rolleyes: .

LOL I wish it were so simple, breeding them is VERY dangerous often times they inflict many wounds upon each other without even a successful breeding, then there's the issue of trying to find suitable homes for all the babies which are extremely adorable when they're a few months old and then grow into huge monsters with child like temper tantrums and needs that go far beyond what most people are willing to accommodate so I don't think I could bring myself to try to create more creatures that weren't meant to be pets, although the thought of having a bunch of miniature lizards running around would be pretty cool. I'm sure the novelty would wear off once I realized that I was going to be stuck raising 20 Iguana's to adulthood and beyond LOL.
