    Pics of expecting moms and laid back dads 
    So just decided to post some pics of the girls and boys. Yesterday I found a clutch that a first time layer totally faked me out on. I had her in the lay bin for 7 days and she didn't dig. Not one time. So I put her back in the cage and I guess since she was a younger virgin adult and this was her first clutch she was being a faker. Palpitated her a few times but I could really only feel what I thought to be a small egg. Nothing like the marbles I usually feel on the other girls. Anyways she wasn't even In the cage for 12 hours and I found eggs in her favorite hide spot. There was no digging activity In the cage either. 3 out of the 15 were good. I'm thinking this was partially the reason that she wasn't acting how the other moms do. Anyways here's a pic of the first time mom. Looks like the 3 good eggs will make it. She's a Red 100% het for trans. I don't really know exactly what phase she is bc she was a rescue that got pretty much thrown into my hands. But she's gorgeous.:

    Dad is a Blonde leatherback 100% het trans:

    I got him last year in a trade at the NH expo. He's been a great guy to work with past the initial issues he had.
    And the second momma that he was paired with is huge, shes a hypo orange 100% het trans. Big, fat, grumpy and now off food. So eggs should be coming in the next week or so no digging yet but it's not her first rodeo. http://tapatalk.com/mu/47a99751-c426-d078.jpg

    The other male I've been pairing this year is a red leather back I got at the same time as the blonde. Another really awesome boy to work with:

    And his lady is a desert red I got from DD reptiles a few years back. Her eggs are already on the ground and about to hatch! Super excited:

    Thank You! Agh I know I hate hate hate the waiting game. I have to wait with all of them balls, beardies, cresties. I suppose there will never be a button I can magically push and make them pop out of the egg. Darn it. Pics of the babies in a couple weeks as they start coming out will follow.

    Yeah tell me about it it seems that's all we do is wait... You definitely learn patience in this hobby lol.. At least with dragons we have some control when they breed and lay eggs but balls is a different story... At least my leopard gecko are starting to hatch gives me something to work with while waiting on everything else... good luck with your season
