Last Night's Surprise: First Clutch of '09!

Since NF1 was only 23 days POS yesterday (4/3/09), I wasn't exactly expecting to find her wrapped around a clutch of eggs. I'm so glad I had my incubator up and running and already had an egg tub set up!

I peaked in her tub late last night to find this:

After moving her head:

After removing her (two fertile eggs and two slugs). This year is the first year that she's produced eggs (she's an '04 girl) and I've been trying since 2006, so I'm content with two fertile eggs:

One clutch down, hopefully many more to come!

Congrats!!!!!!:carouse:

Congrautlations.

Congrats!!Whos daddy?

This clutch was most likely sire by my '06 Graziani Pastel male, but there's a chance that it was sired by my '04 Super Pastel Orange Ghost male. Regardless, the hatchlings will be labled as either Pastels or Normals.

SWEET! Congrats on those eggies!!! :banana:

Congrats! :)

She sure is a beauty!

Thanks Justin! I was actually watching one of your YouTube videos right before checking on this girl!

She's a nice animal for sure.

You may only have had 2 Fertile Eggs, but they look fantastic. Good luck!
