Moving day... so she finally decides to lay!

My spider girl's 45th day after shedding and she waited until the minute I wanted to put her in a moving tub to start laying! I open her tub at 8am to be welcomed by a hiss and an egg half way out of her, haha.

Managed to hold off moving her until she produced 7 perfect eggs for me - awesome for a first timer! Not had chance to candle or weigh the clutch, but both the eggs and mum got to my new place in one piece :)

She was paired to my butter pastel male, so fingers crossed for a queen bee! Hopefully my 4th and final clutch to come from my big fire girl, due around the middle of next week :D

Gratz! Not a bad thing to keep you procrastinating through something. ;)

Lol, of course!!! Congrats!

Go figure! Beautiful spider, by the way!

I have a girl who's "due" the weekend of the NARBC (which I'm going both days and it's a 5 hour drive for me) as well as the week I have planned to spend with my friend. My other girl is due the week before. It would be my luck that both females lay while I'm at NARBC. Oi. :rolleyes:

Hey but it was a nice surprise!

They never do exactly what you want them to ;) Congrats though!

Haha, or you'll spend the whole week worrying like crazy and come back to nothing :P I feel your pain! Good luck with both girls :)

Thanks everyone! Now the real wait begins...

Whoah congrats! I hope you get TWO queen bees!
Man I would be so freaked out if I had to travel with eggs.

I actually travelled in the back of the moving van with the incubator - thankfully only a 5 minute trip, and the temps only dropped about 1 degree the whole time :) Fairly terrifying though, haha

Oh, I candled the eggs last night too - all 7 looking very fertile and healthy! Sadly my het pied x pastel het pied clutch looks to be only 1 fertile egg though...
