Not what I hoped to see

Hi,

Just a small update. :)

I didn't re-introduce the male but I think she is double clutching anyway - she has managed to get the weight back so I'm not worried she will do herself any serious injury, just hoping it's not more slugs.

I put everything in the incubator including the more obvious slugs so I thought I would show how badly the slugs are doing and the two that still have nice veins.

The wierd thing is the dud's haven't gone opaque as I expected and still candle a bright yellow.

Now can anyone guess the two "healthy" eggs, the 4 "started well but didn't make it" and the "oh my god what the heck is that?" specials? ;)

Sorry man..:(
Slugs are never good

But good luck on the good 2!

oohh yucky! sorry about most of that clutch Derek, but here's to two healthy babies at least. Hope you have better luck with a second clutch.

Ew. Those slugs are looking really yucky. Not sure, but it might be safe to throw them out now. ;)

I hope she does double clutch for you and that you get much better results next time!

Hi folks,

I threw out the duds. :gj:

And this morning I looked in the incubator and saw this - talk about proof that good eggs can survive fungus. :O

The first one would only show me the nose so everything but the first pic is the second lil guy. :banana: :banana:

Big congrats Derek!:gj:

I know you weren't expecting much out of those eggs, so its GREAT to see a few hatchlings!

Yay! I was hoping for a happy update on this!

Post more pics when they get out of the eggs! :)

Did the mother double clutch for you? I think you said you thought she was going to.

Big Congrats!! Yeah, healthy eggs are VERY resilient against things like that.
