    Crap got some unexpected eggs.

    I was just cleaning some cages and one of my 2006 normal females laid three beautifull eggs. I purchased her a year ago along with 24 others from Pro Exotics LAST YEAR! When she was shipped she was bagged with several others. There must have been a male in the bag (should have all been females). She has been alone since then. I don't get it??? Crap, I am so not prepared for this.

    No wonder she was the only one not eating for the last couple of months. Lol, I even unknowingly documented her post ovulation shed. No cool down either, this is bizarre. Ok I need to think quick. Iv'e got a ranco thermostat and some heat cable maybe I can rig something up for now.

    Not a clue yet, I haven't touched them. I'm going to the store to pick up a cooler. I forgot I have some flexwatt too, looks like I should be able to make an incubator. I used my tempgun and she has them at 88 F. They do look a little dehydrated but nothing serious.

    Before you get your incubator set up it may be worth checking if they are fertile with a flashlight.

    OK, one is definitely fertile! Bright red vasculature.

    Now she's pissed. Poor thing was only 1000 grams a couple of weeks ago.
