    Spider x Mojo or Pastel Eggs
    Well, I screwed this one up.

    We were waiting for/expecting eggs from our spider around 9/24. She laid them on 9/27. I had her pegged at 4 eggs (x-ray showed 4).

    The biggest problem was that I had to rush home during work to get the eggs and put them into the incubator, as I wouldn't have a chance for another day or two after that.

    I quickly took her off of 4 eggs and put her in another tub we had set up. I didn't have time to clean the tub. My friend was going to have to do that when he got there late that night.

    I put 4 eggs in the incubator. They candled well, and I hurried back to work.

    Then the next day, Dave calls me and says, "you missed an egg!" I thought maybe she just hadn't laid the last egg. But nope, he was cleaning her laying tub and found another egg under the paper. It had been about 85 deg., and looked wrinkled/dehydrated.

    He set it up in its own tub and put it on the warm spot in his rack, hoping it would maintain the 89 he has for his spot. Later that night, I was able to get it to our incubator (at a different location than the snakes--I know, not the best setup, but that's the room we have at the moment). It candled with veins on one side, but the other side was hard to see veins...

    Anyway, it may make it, it may not. We'll see around thanksgiving weekend. Here's hoping.

    Thought I'd post a couple pics. I couldn't get them to load last night.

    This first one is her from underneath while she's still wrapping the 4 eggs.

    Next is right after I took her off of them. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yep, 4 eggs....

    Congrats and good luck on the 5th egg, although I think it will be fine as well.
