This thread isn't as long yet--still waiting on eggs. But they should be here about mid-June. ;) I need a male spider het hypo out of this clutch. Here's to hoping for a nice-sized clutch like my other two girls have given me so far. My female het albino is a ~2,000 gram girl and first-time mom, just like my female hypo, so maybe I'll get lucky again. :P

Looking good! :sweet: Hope you get what you're after :)

Regards,

B

Eggs were laid today!

Here's to hoping for a male spider het hypo! :gj: I need one to hold back to make some honeybees. :P Looks like I wound up with more chances to produce one than I thought--I fully expected 4-5 eggs, maybe 7 if I was reeeeeeally lucky. Getting 10 never even crossed my mind; I almost hit the floor when I got the mom off the eggs and counted.

awesome first time clutch hope the odds gods are with you an you get that spider het hypo

Congrats on the nice large clutch! Hope they turn out in your favor! :)

Grats! Looking forward to seeing the babies!

Congrats on the big ole clutch!

Congrats, but it still might be a good idea to candle them if you haven't done that already. My first time mom laid 9 eggs, all looked great, but it appeared that 3 were not fertile anyway :(.
Good luck!

Already done. ;) I did that as soon as I got mom off of them. LOL (But that is very good advice to anyone breeding BPs--I didn't know to do that the first couple of years I was breeding.) I do that anyway now, but especially since this clutch had 2 eggs that weren't really bright white; however, I caught her right when she got finished laying, and I don't think the last couple had completely "hardened" (or at least as much as a snake egg hardens haha), as they were still extremely soft and prone to creasing when I moved them around. They have solidified (maybe that's a better word than "hardened" ;) ) now, and all seem to be bright white, with the exception of a couple with spots that may turn into "windows." But I've had eggs in the past that had "windows" in them that hatched out perfectly healthy, so I don't see any reason why these would be any different. :P Hopefully they all hatch out just fine--guess I'll see in a couple of months! haha And maybe the "window" eggs will be easy to candle later in development to see if there's spiders in them. :D

Big time Congrats 10 eggs from a first timer is great.
