My first (and only?) eggs of the season!

After a long wait (58 days post-ovy), my light-colored normal gal Nerissa finally laid her eggs... got seven BEAUTIES, no slugs and all appearing fertile. Now the real waiting begins! :oops:

FYI, this is Nerissa's second or third clutch, and she was bred to my pastel boy Toby. Not too exciting (Murphy's Law, the least exciting of my pairings is the only one that apparently took), but babies are fun no matter what. I don't do it for the money anyway, or you could call me the worst businessperson to ever live. Hehe.

Skinny girl! She weighed in around 1250ish post-lay (she wouldn't sit still), and usually weighs ~1850g.

How does the egg tub look? Tried putting last year's clutch directly in the incubator, and ended up losing 6/8 eggs - so I'm back to my old method!

Awww, it's still exciting!!

Congrats! Nice bunch of eggs. :gj:

Congrats!!! Must feel like a proud parent. I can't for the day that I can put on a similar post! :D

Thanks all! And I didn't mean to imply ANY snake eggs/babies are less than exciting... it's just that my fellow snake nerds love to hear about those triple-recessive-hidden gene-etc combos, so I was only apologizing for the lack of "wow factor." :D

These two (Nerissa & Toby) should make nice looking pastels, though, given her light coloring and his blushing. I can't wait to see them! They're due to hatch around my brother's birthday, August 24th, which seems to be my lucky day for egg hatchings. I think this will be the third clutch I've had with that "due date?" Oh, and I'm very relieved she laid them before Thursday - since I'm set to leave on a 4-day trip then, and was worried about her laying while I was gone.

Yea, it's always exciting regardless to see cute little heads poking out. It makes it worth the wait.

Congrats. :D

Congrats!

Congrats! That momma is a really nice looking normal too.

Congrats! Looks like a nice big group of eggs!
