congrats on the eggs!
What was the breeding?

We arent exactly sure. the female is a normal but she was bred to 2 males. a bumblebee and an unknown male that looks normal. the bumblebee was a new addition in january so we are hoping he got to her but we will be happy even if the babies are normals.

Awesome! well good luck on the clutch!
Now for the long wait until hatchday! It sucks lol...worst part.

I know. Its only been a week and im already climbing the wall. We werent planning on having eggs this year becouse none of our females showed signs. we started really late hoping to get the bumblebee in time.

Congrats on the eggs. I know what you mean about climbin the walls. We have had our first clutch in the incubator for 18 days now which isn't even a third of the way and it seems like an eternity already. We did see movement in one of the eggs when candling a couple days ago "so we got that going for us, which is nice."

Nice. i havent seen much for movement yet but my eggs are a little younger than yours. what did u pair up riditmars?

The pairing is a 1.0 Yellowbelly to 0.1 Classic. I saw someone use the word Classic in another thread and I think I am going to start using it instead of Normal. Seems like a better descriptor. I got my daughter interested in snakes at a very young age and they are actually her snakes. I have been just helping with out with stuff like building the incubator and such, but man am I caught up in the excitement. I've always had a thing for reptiles but I wasn't able to do this breeding stuff when I was a kid. There are 6 eggs so the hope is to get at least a few YBs and it would be great to get a female or two. Good luck with your odds as well.
