First ever clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always wondered this... How do you get mom away from the eggs with out getting bit or disturbing the eggs?

Ok. I'll do that tonigh, and then get her a fresh kill small rat tomorrow

All I had to do was lift her off. She was cranky, but not biting cranky. The eggs stick together.

Oh ok that makes sense about the substrate. I wasnt trying to question your methods btw, just curious.
Is it bad for newspaper to stick to them...? I cant imagine a little bit would hurt them that much.

A little newspaper stuck to the bottom of the eggs will cause no harm.

Congrats. What was the pairing? She's a beautiful girl and you'd be cranky too if you just dumped a bunch of younguns out and someone was trying to move you. LOL (being a female i sympathize with her attitude)

Pairing was Mojave to normal. I also put my firefly in the day before she Ovy'ed, but I don't think he did anything.

I actually had the paper in her cage, but she hid under it to lay her eggs, so I took it out this morning. Now she is back on paper.
