Ralph Davis has some great videos on palpating. Once you feel them for the first time, it's hard to mistake. They are like a string of pearls when small, and you will feel them get larger and larger over a period of time. ;)

Congrats! I hope to get my first clutch the end of this week. :)

I witnessed quite a few locks, but I don't think it would hurt to pair her up again so I really think I will. Thanks for the push...lol.

I'm going to have to check them out & practice because I have no clue. That & probing. I was taught how to do it but I am terrified of hurting them.

Thanks!

we attempted the same pairing this year.,, not noticed any success yet tho..
would love to see a few royals popping out of their eggs.. give it time

She should make some killer mojaves. I'm waiting until next year to breed my hold back male, but this girl is already scheduled to be his second girlfriend in 2010.

This girl will be his #1. I bought her from Steve Jordanides specifically to pair with my mojo next year.

Here's the lucky young man

And he will definitely have at least one hot pastel girl all to himself, too. I can't wait until I hatch a pastave with the killer breeders I have. It's one of my favorite combos, just before Enchi mojaves. I'm expecting to hatch nothing less than the best looking pastaves out there.
