@ Oscar I would say the typical egg is about 2" x 1.25" and weighs 22-24g. A normal clutch is 3 eggs with my females dropping about 3 clutches a year.

Thanks everyone for the nice words I love watching these guys hatch out and raising them for a little while until they go to new homes.

@ chase thorn the two older ones are avilable now and the younger three will be ready in about a month. I also have six incubating of which I think four are good. Those four should hatch in a about a week or so.
