The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...
Things have been pretty crazy for me lately. It's hard being away from my pets during most of the week and trusting them to my sister. I thought I would give some updates on major things that have happened. I know the title is the good, the bad and the ugly, but I'm going to do them in reverse order. I don't like dewling on baf things.
The ugly:
I sadly lost an entire clutch of ball pythons eggs. My normal female layed 10 good eggs but I messed up and lost them all. I've learned a lot from that experience and I hope I don't lose an entire clutch again in the future.
I also lost 2 crested geckos recently. A little red harley I purchased from a friend and my nicest breeding female passed away. My sister is caring for them and I have no idea why they died. She's trying her hardest so I can't really blame her. I think the heat wave might have done them in. I am buying an AC for her room so that should help.
The bad:
My cinny female escaped and hasn't been seen in a 2 weeks. I have a feeling she will turn up eventually.
The good:
My first two crested geckos hatched and they are just too cute! :)
They are horrible cell phone pictures, but here they are:

Here is mom, she was a freebie craigslist pick up so I have no idea what dad looks like:

So sorry about your losses. Do you mind sharing what happened with your clutch? As a first year breeder I'm trying to soak up as much info (good and bad) as I can.

I tried to go the maternal incubation route, but with my animals being 2-3 hours away from me during the week and not being able to see them for a couple of weeks due to having things to do where I spend the week I'm not 100% on exactly what killed them. It was probably a combination of a lot of things.
