kingpin x ivory

the season is officially underway. firefly x lesser took a while to figure it out the mechanics, but they're working on a full 24-hour lock at this point.

Just a few updates. I have tried and failed repeatedly to palpate for follicular development, so I really have no idea how far along any of the females are at this point. I'm really hoping to have at least one clutch by February though.

she seems to be building pretty well. she hasn't started bowl wrapping, but starting to lump up and she looks equal parts hungry and uncomfortable at all times.

but came home tonight and she had finally laid. I spotted the pre-lay shed and was hoping I'd just missed the ovy. thankfully I was correct.

I haven't counted yet. don't care; I'm just thrilled she laid. I saw no slugs and had palpated at least 7 follicles in january. I'm going to leave her be for the evening and incubate the eggs over the weekend.

Woohoo! Congrats!

Awesome, I hope you get plenty of cool babies.

1.1 pastels, 1.0 lesser, 0.1 het blurry, 0.1 spider, 1.1 norm. 0.1 dinker,

Very nice it will be fun to see what you get from your pairings.

Congrats on the eggs! We are still waiting for our first clutches and its driving me nuts.

final count is eight eggs. wildly impressed with this girl. my only complaint is that she might've set the bar too high for the future.

the eggs have plumped back up since I put them in the incubator, and all eight candled with good solid veins. hoping for some 4th of July babies.
