unexpected...

[metalhedthree]

so i was just going about my usual routine for a monday, clean the baby tubs, go buy some feeders. even picked up a new male pastel today. 600g btw. but to make things better, i went around the side of my rack to see where my lesser was hiding so i could feed her and looked down one tub to see a pearly white popping outa someone. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT! she showed no signs what-so-ever except going off feed. but i assumed that was just because i dropped the temps for the whole rack. 4 eggs and counting. o, and this was my het axanthic that i paired with my spider het axanthic. crossing my fingers for axanthic spiders!

thanks. i had to rush to get the incubator ready too. i rearranged the room about a week ago when i moved an 8 tub 41qt rack in and movced everything around, but didnt put the incubator back in. and not 10 minutes before i saw her with eggs i looked at it and thought "nah, itll be a little bit". lesson learned

Nice surprise. Get your incubator tubs set up as well.

of course

i only have it cranked up to 95 to get it up to the right temp quicker

Congrats....on the unexpected clutch. I am not sure if the eggs are in the tubs or not yet. If they are do not leave them exposed to those high temps too long. Fingers crossed for some sweet Axanthic Spiders.

she laid a total of 8 eggs. this being my first clutch ever i feel like i lucked out. not a single slug and the mom is doing great! the eggs are in the incubator, shes all cleaned up and back in her house, and im gonna try some food tomorrow and see if she takes. thanks all for looking. ill keep this thread going as my other girls lay theirs and they start hatching out. this is the clutch i was hoping for overall. only 55 days to see what i get! the anticipation is gonna kill me. o, and no, they werent in the incubator when i had the temp that high. lol. running a smooth 31.6C now.
