How big are Panther Eggs?

Hey all. I had a female Panther lay eggs on Late Friday/Early Saturday. Its been a LOOOOONNNG time since I've seen Panther eggs, and they looked undersized to me...especially compared to some recent Veiled eggs I have. But again, its been a while. She was a virgin female who mated multiple times (thoroughly), took on gravid colors, and then went about 30 days before laying. So everything tells me the eggs should be good.

But, they are 1.5 cm long. I've scoured the internet looking for some kind of reference on the size of the eggs, or a photo of eggs next to a dime, or a ruler, or something, but I can find nothing.

Anyone here ever record a new (Panther) eggs dimensions?

There was no mold as of last night, but its still kind of early for that. And yep...I'm incubating them "just in case".

Steve

That picture made my day! I was feeling like I had dud eggs, but now I've swung completely the other way.

Thanks so much,

Steve

keep incubating them if after 2 months and there is no mold and the eggs still look good then they probably are. I had a girl lay 45 eggs and they were small . I thought the same thing but 7 months later mine are almost ready to hatch and have swollen to almost 3 times the size.
