My My...An Unexpected Clutch
So, it is feeding day today. Went to put a rat in to one of my bigger girls tubs and lo and behold she's sitting a giant clutch of eggs! Totally caught me by surprise. Why? Because I haven't bred her to anything. Ever. I got her last year from a friend of mine who bred her to an Enchi YB. She came gravid and produced a good clutch for me last year. So I can only assume that she must have retained sperm from the previous year.
Well, gotta go get the incubator fired up.

Seems that they are getting it done with or without our help.
Re: My My...An Unexpected Clutch

Actually she stopped eating about a month or so ago. I thought it was because she was in shed. She just shed 2 or 3 weeks ago weeks ago.
Well I know why now.
And yes, she is a normal.
Re: My My...An Unexpected Clutch
Update: 9 fertile looking eggs are now in the incubator. Too bright to candle so I'll check them all tonight. And the guy I got her frmo said he only bred her to the Enchi YB so maybe that is what I'll get again. Last year she also had 9 eggs that gave me 2 Enchi YBs, 6 Enchi's and 1 normal. So we'll see what happens.
Re: My My...An Unexpected Clutch
Congrats, that is super awesome! Surprise clutches are always exciting!
Re: My My...An Unexpected Clutch
What awesome luck! Congrats!

Update 2:
At first candling,3 of the eggs don't appear to have veins. Will leave them in and keep an eye on them.
