For some reason I just didn't think she'd actually have eggs after the expected date came and went.

I have to say I'm surprised! good thing I still kept everything ready

She just laid another egg....

I got them all out now, there are 7 total.
I weight a couple of the eggs and a few were just over 90 grams one was around 85 grams. They are all set up in the incubator now. I also candled them quickly and saw veins!! Scarlett looks SOOOOOOOOO skinny now. I had a feeling if she did lay she would have a good clutch since she is was a 7-8 year old virgin when I adopted her.

Here are 5 of the eggs.. 2 more in another container but I didn't take a picture of those.

yes he is! thanks!

I can't believe how big the eggs are since she wasn't a huge mom

question.. should I be covering up the eggs more with the vermiculite?

Congratulations!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

thanks :)

They are all set up in the incubator at a steady 89.5 degrees

How exciting, congrats! That is a large clutch for a 1700 gram girl, and all good eggs too, very nice. She's got some weight to gain back now, that's for sure! If the eggs are about 1/2 to 2/3 into the vermiculite, you should be fine. Now for the longest two months of your life :D .

Thanks..

I really just kind of set the eggs on top of the vermiculite so I'll adjust them a bit to get them deeper. Thanks for the info!

Those look great! Congrats on the clutch and try not to go insane while waiting the next 55 days

:sunny:

Congrats! That's a nice clutch for her size. Awesome stuff, those should be some nice looking offspring.
