First clutch ever!!
Well, I was going to do the cleaning of all the cages tonight, and I opened one of the bins to find a very protective mommy.:D I counted 5 eggs so far. I had my incubator set up, just not turned on. I was not expecting for another 8 days. She is at 22 days POS today. I will let her take the duties for a little longer, then when the bator is warm, I will do the snatch N run. I thought I felt 6 eggs, so this will give her a chance to give me one more. Now the wait....:rolleye2::rolleye2::rolleye2::rolleye2::D:D:D

Re: First clutch ever!!
Thanks everyone. I do not know who the daddy is. She was a gravid WC when I aquired her. As soon as I can take the eggs, I can get a weight, count, and commence to the scrubdown. I know she will love me after that.:P
Does anyone know the chances of getting a morph out of a WC gravid? Has it happened before?

Chances? Very very very low, to like... shouldn't even consider it. :P
Has it happened? Yes.

Well. .... Out of the 5 eggs she laid a month ago, 1 was a slug and 1 died about 2 weeks into incubation. I decided to do a 1 month candling, and I saw that all 3 that are left, are moving around very well. 1/2 way there...:banana:

Day 53!!:banana::banana::banana:
I just looked in and found one of the eggs pipping! The red marks are where I saw no veins while candling. It it the mark.:D I peeld back the cut portion and I saw what looked like a normal, as they are from a WC, but it had a lot of white. I am sure that the white scales were not on the belly. I'm so nervous.
