We picked up two adult females and a year and a half-old mojave (Betty, Lila and LaFleur) from a friend back in November. They were pretty stressed out and had RIs, so we took them into the vet and nursed them back to health.

Well imagine my surprise when after coming home from the movies pretty late at night, I found Betty sitting pretty funny. I actually thought she was dead for some reason, and when I reached in to pet her, she huffed and puffed like she never had before and s'd up to reveal eggs... I swear I nearly fainted. She wasn't supposed to be gravid, and we missed alllll the signs, clearly.



She had two big gorgeous ones with TONS of veins, and three slugs. Of course we were scrambling to get our incubator on and up to temperature at about midnight, lol. But we got the two eggs all settled, and they're due to hatch mid-April. The mojave, LaFleur, is the father, so we've got our fingers crossed!



And daddy:
