Abstract
It has been shown that in samples of the eggs of T. colubriformis, the smaller eggs (i) have a greater probability of survival when incubated at fixed temperature and saturation deficit; (ii) require less time to develop and hatch when incubated in water at constant temperature, and (iii) have a greater surface area relative to volume, than do the larger eggs.A hypothetical basis for the relation between egg size and desiccation survival is briefly discussed.
