I have regained my sanity

Today, 1/13/09, I have officially produced my first clutch of eggs. My female who has been giving me grief was wrapped nice and tight around 6 beautiful white eggs. I swear I just bit the sun Im so high.

Congrats and now you can breathe again!

Yeah No kidding. BP eggs DO exist. I thought they were just a myth. The most surprising thing about the eggs is that theyre fairly heavy. Weird.

Don't breathe! 45 days till they hatch, don't disturb the process!

Good luck. I hope it works out for you the best it can.

Thank you.

I have the patience for the hatching, Ill be ok on that part of it. It was waiting for the eggs and what not.

ADVICE for all: If youre gonna miss an ovy or think youre going to miss an ovy, learn to palp QUICK. One what you feel is bigger than an inch in length, youre gonna get eggs.

It took her 40 somethin days to lay her eggs.

Unfortunately you are going to lose your sanity once again, but only for 50-60 days, thats all. :D

Big congrats on the sweet clutch!:gj: What are you expecting from this clutch?

Just some nice mojos. I wanted to reproduce my mojo because he is so different from what I know mojos as. Other than that I dont like single gene codom x normal unless its selectively breeding for a certain pattern, i.e my reduced normal x lesser.

The sire, Max.

Estimated hatch date March 9

Congratulations, :D

Remember the thermos when camping out in front of the incubator. :rofl:

How was she when you went to take her off the eggs?

Remember to wash her down well to get the smell of eggs off her so she will start eating again - one time I did the tub well enough but not the female and had to wash her down again before she went back to normal. :rolleyes:

And have you candled the eggs yet?

LOL yeah thermos. I work nights so I should be thoroughly occupied to avoid that. She came off the eggs nice and easy, didnt even flinch. Freaked out when she was in the holder tub while I was puttin them in the egg tub though. Started cruising like a bat out of hell. I washed her and the tub based off of what Ive seen Ralph Davis do in his videos, juststuck her in the sink and sprayed and rubbed her down. I havent candled yet as I discovered them at 8 am, but Ill do it on Sunday night when I have a night off of work.

Congrats on your eggs. :)

EDDIE! Thanks. Im hoping to throw your spider girl in the mix one of these days. She is 1100 grams and growing with every meal. Unfortunately early pairings have yielded nothing so far, she doesnt like my boy lol.

Have you palpated her? Give her another hundred grams, or so, and she may be more receptive. Good luck.

Congrats! Now you know what to look for next time:gj:

Feels good to be a dad, dont it, I'm very happy for you:salute:

Nah Im not palping anyone. Im 1.5 mths behind the curve as far as the season goes. We bought a house in November so I started cooling in December. This girl that layed eggs today was an experimental pairing that Ive been doing since August. I appreciate the advice though, Im looking at a thorough start to the season at the end of the month. I can wait on her though, she isn't the biggest project Im crossing my fingers for. She is , however, one of the projects Im looking most forward to gettin accomplished whenever it is ready to be done. If she doesnt go this year Im going to pick up the necessary ingredient that eliminates one step before the start of the next season.

Good luck when you do end up breeding her. I'm glad to hear that she is eating well for you. I'm sure it won't take her long to mature enough to breed.

Wow congrats and they were perfect looking little eggs!!! The mom and dad are beautiful!!

Yeah once she got on F/T she has become a monster. I think we missed one feeding so far, and that was because she got moved into a new tub.

Thank you! I thought for sure the sixth egg was a slug. Well, they might all be slugs, who knows. I have yet to candle them.



Ahh screw it, Im gonna candle them now!!!

Ok just candled the eggs. All 6 are fertile, with nice veins running throughout. Now fingers crossed that they look like their dad, and that the odds gods bless me with a good mojo:normal ratio.

FANTASTIC! Congratulations!!!!! Woo! *does the happy egg dance*

Excellent turn of events. Congratulations. :banana::banana::banana:

You dont even know. To see a white oval thing wrapped up in some coils after months of frustration and preparation is a great reward.

Congrats!!! Very exciting! :gj:

Congratulations! That's a beautiful looking clutch! :gj:

I'm feeling how you were, at the "losing my sanity" stage... hope to join you in the next stage soon, LOL. :rolleye2:

I predict four mojos and two normals.

Thanks! When you start muttering to yourself and find yourself teetering on the edge of insanity, you'll be ready for the second stage, which is counting the days till your eggies hatch.

I like that prediction. I hope it comes true. But I wouldnt be mad if it was all normals either. I just want them to hatch nice and safe. 58 days to go! lol:weirdface
