First Clutch - It's HERE! (D-UP Wanning)

And I'm finally getting the pics up.

After my freakin out last night, I decided to try and remain calm. FAT CHANCE! I woke up this morning to find my lovely girl sitting on some EGGS! :clap: I was so excited, I was shaking. (literally shaking) So I decided I've got to call my sister. The poor girl had to brace herself as I rambled on ... RAPIDLY! OMG, I've got eggs. Is she done? Should I take her off? After being reminded to breathe, I decided it wasn't TOO early to bother Adam. :oops: He suggested I leave her for a couple hours just in case she wasn't done. Sure enough, I came home to find one more egg. Although, now that I look back on it I think all of them were there this morning. I just miscounted. Unfortunately, this morning was BUSY. First I had Mornings with Mom, at my son's school. Then I had to drop my daughter off for her class, only to get back and adminster the Accelerated Reading tests for my son's class. *deep breath* When I finally got back home, I thought there was a new egg so I called Adam again, and he said to wait at least two hours after the last egg.

Then it was finally time to remove her. Boy was she hissy! :O I was completely freaked the entire time I removed her. I finally got her off, and then it was off to the races. I had to clean everything and get the eggs in the incubator. Now I'm finally done, and I'm blissfully happy! Now onto the pics.... :D

Here are the eggs back in the incubator. Ignore the temps as I had just put the tub back in and they hadn't stabilized yet. :oops:

sweeeeet! :gj: now you can finally relax. :) looks like momma did a very nice job! is that a nature's spirit incubator? just wondering because that's what i have and it does a rockin good job! :P

Now that looks exciting! I feel for ya! you'll do just fine as a mamma snake! keep us posted! can't wait to see what comes out. Are you expecting any morphs this year?

Yes it is a Nature's Spirit incubator. It's been holding temps great all week. I'm also able to take a deep breath for the first time today.

I also forgot to mention that the dad is a pastel, so hopefully I'll see some cute little pastel pipping in the future!

Awesome, good luck with your clutch :)

Thank you both btw! :D :hug:

This is my one and only clutch this year. I consider it my 'trial run'. :rolleyes:

Congrats Christie! Did you have an omlette to celebrate!?:P Those eggs look niiiice, hope you get all female pastels!

Thanks Rapture!

Thank you too Jason. Omelette? :O Ack! I've just got to convince the kids we don't color these eggs. All pastels would be nice though. :D

Oh, and good thing that incubator has a clear door...cause I can see you peeking in on them every hour until they hatch! But I don't blame you. :P

Yay Christie (and Dandylion!!!). Today was a good day for eggs.


Can't wait to compare andsee ifweboth get hatchlings on the same day. Howbig was she at the beginning of breeding season, and how much does she weigh
now?
