    First Clutch of 2010... Finally!
    So after many months of waiting for any female to drop eggs this year, one of my female pastels finally gave me 5 healthy eggs today. It's a small clutch, but she's still fairly small herself (was at 1175g after laying) and this is only her 2nd year breeding. She was paired with my bumblebee male.

    Now I bombed on the 4 eggs this pairing gave me last year, with 2 pastels, 1 spider, and 1 normal (the low-end half on odds), so I'm hoping it's made up to me this year with a couple killerbees, super pastels and a bumblebee in the clutch. I don't think that's too much to ask! :P

    Anyway, here are pictures of the mom on eggs, and the eggs in their incubation box!

    Please excuse the ad on the newspaper above, I would have removed that had I noticed it when I was taking pictures. :doh:

    Thanks for looking!

    Thanks guys! I'll definitely be posting updates when these guys start pipping around the end of October. I have another clutch from my bumblebee to a het ghost girl (the bee's father was a 50% possible chance het) due in a week or so. I'll post pics when she lays hers as well.

    First one slithered out of the egg today. A pretty little lemon pastel that looks to be a male. In the rest of the eggs, there is nothing that isn't at least pastel, and looks like I may have got one super. There's only one that's a spider though, and the pattern looks like it might be a bit too dark to be the killerbee I was wanting so badly. Anyway, here are the pics of the first pastel out. I'll get some of the rest as they each make their way out of their eggs!

    Two more are out today, a lemon pastel and a super! All males so far. Hopefully the pastel and bumblebee still in their eggs are girls!

    Another pastel out... another male. All of them look pretty slick though. I'm definitely pleased with the offspring my bumblebee throws.

    Last in the egg is the bumblebee, which should be out tonight or tomorrow morning. Really hope that one is my female.

    Well the bumblebee was out waiting for me when I got home, and looks like it's going to be a nice high-white specimen. Really digging the pattern too, in spite of the dots. Best part: This one looks to be a girl. :cool:
