Makin' plain ol' hets

*BUMP*

Well, it came to day 60 and I decided to cut the eggs.

I thought I was going to produce plain old hets, but I might be mistaken...

Well, hold on a minute!! What the hell is that? We might need to take a closer look here...

Not close enough? Ok...

Any input on this matter would be great! Thanks for looking!

She was cheating on her man! Looks like you had a spider sneak in there. That sucks now you won't know if they are 100% hets, sorry man.

Very possible that girl retained sperm from last year. Unless that is just a really reduced pattern normal. What's the history on her?

She had a clutch with a Spider two years ago. Last year she rested.

Now this clutch went from bad to worse... Seven eggs - one Spider. Terrible odds, unless it's a split clutch.

I hate these mind games!

wishing you luck on a split!

*UPDATE*

Well, this wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I guess things go this way now and then. Out of seven eggs two hatchlings died withing 24 hours of crawling out of the egg, two were dead in the eggs and three are healthy.

The Spider-looking animal was a normal with goofy marking, but it was dead and it looked underdeveloped.

One of the surviving males had a wrapped umbilical cord so he weighed in at 25 grams.

So out of this trainwreck I got 2.1 het VPI Axanthics.

Better than nothing I guess...
