Gravid Hetwig

[zooplan]

Because I had so much fun with the thread:
"Dons massive Garter" I like to start a similar one for Hetwig.

How many babies do you think Hetwig will deliver? Let's include all offspring (live and otherwise) in the total. Rossman et al. say that average clutch size for T. sirtalis varies from 7,6 to 32.5 with significant geographic variation. Hetwig is about 37" long and more than 250 gr. of weight.
The price for the best guess will be one baby of the clutch (66% pos.het for amelanistic) that will be delivered to the Terraristika in Hamm in september 2008.

That's a nice price, Udo! Do we get any clues on previous clutches she had?

[Sid]

My guess is 32, Uno.

[Stefan-A]

24, mark my words.

[drache]

guessing 27

[CrazyHedgehog]

hmmmm....
waiting for reply of Hans' question!

[zooplan]

her first litter last year was about five or seven,
can´t tell the exact number because of an accident of cannibalism.
There were only 2 specimens left, my amelanistic female and her 66% pos.het brother.
She has grown a liitle bit since than.

I'm guessing 26

Damn you Hans! That would have been my guess!
My female parietalis gave birth to 8 young in her first year, 26 in her second...So I'm guessing around....28...

I'd say....
14.
