Came home to eggs!

My virgin pairing: Black Pewter to Pastel.

Only 4 eggs total (2 good, 2 slugs :() so my chances of hitting the silver streak this year are slim. But I still have a chance :D

Here is mom on the eggs:

Put the slugs in too even though they didn't candle and will remove if they go bad.

Good luck with the odds brotha!

I love this time of year! Fingers crossed for a couple of silver streaks!

That's certainly a nice thing to come home to no matter how good or bad your day has been. Have you weighed those 2 good eggs because they look huge!

"And may the odds be ever in your favor."

Congrats! Fingers crossed for you! :gj:

Congrats!

Let the odds Gods be with you! I would go ahead and take those slugs out just to be safe.

Good luck with them!!!

two eggs is better than no eggs. Hope you hit on the silver streak. :gj:
Too bad about the slugs. I usually just drop those in my snapping turtles tub so at least someone is happy.

What a beautiful mom. Good luck!

Hey, I hit the odds one year breeding a het albino to a het albino, and got the exact same thing you did...2 eggs, 2 slugs. I REALLY wanted an albino boy. I calculated the chances of getting a male albino in one of those eggs...I think it was something like 13%! I bet theres a silver streak developing in one of those eggs right now! :D Good luck, and "....may the odds be ever in your favor"

Would you believe in my excitement with this clutch, I forgot to weigh them. They are big though, so I'll be sure to post weights of the worms when they hatch :o

The slugs are not touching the good eggs. Just to be sure, going to candle again in a few days, if no veins, I'll discard them.

Thanks, I'm hoping one is a silver streak myself. Even if I don't hit on one, just two healthy worms makes it a successful clutch in my eyes.

It's the longest of any my females have produced by far. Maybe I'll get three hatchlings out of this clutch afterall. Time will tell. Thanks.

Congrats on the eggs! Those eggs look HUGE! You should have some nice big hatchlings :)
