Holy Crap!

I just cannot even believe this. I put a beautiful norm together with a 100% het albino male on 4/8, and recorded lock, but never noticed ovulation. I just opened her cage to feed her (which she hasnt been doing), and found 4, beautiful eggs!!!! (and one what looks like a slug) I had the incubator built and tested it out, but didnt expect anything and turned it off.. i dont even have any vercumilite (spelling lol). I am like shaking with excitement.

My baby is sleeping and cant get the vercumilite (spelling, i know lol). Will they be okay in there with her until I can get it? Is there something I should do?

AACCKKK!!! 50% het albinos anyone? LOL

Rock on! They will be fine in there for a bit. Head on over to Home Depot or Lowes to the garden section and score some Vermiculite! That's awesome Ginger!

Congratulations, momma!!!!! Pictures!!!!!!!

Okay, in a reckless fury I did something really dumb and blew the fuse in my herpstat.


has anyone ever tried to replace the fuse on these things before?

You might want to shoot and email to Dion at Spyder Robotics. I have no idea on that one...Do you have another tstat available?

nooooot a proportional one that will do. I did this to my last one, too. im kind of blinded dumb when excited.


I wonder if this is a sign that maybe maternal is in order? Ide rather not though

Definitely incubate the eggs. Even if you have to use a non proportional. How did you blow the fuse?

ummm, well..... im not even sure i should tell you. LOL, ill fall victim of all your jokes for the next year.


I plugged a hair dryer into it thinking it was the extention cord........ crap. :slamhead:

Umm...ok :confused:

Seriously, if you cant get a hold of Dion then set up the incubator with the non proportional..

Congrats on the eggs! Can't wait to see pics once they are all set up in the incubator.

Im going to put them in an incubator soon! The temp has been steady for a good 4 hours or so, and the humidity read right... but is there supposed to be a light condensation in the tub? Does that go away when i put the eggs in? I used the sutherlands recipe for substrate, and feels just right.

I am soooo afraid of killing my new eggies.

I am not sure exactly how your incubator is setup but the condensation in the tub is perfectly fine. What you dont want is condensation dripping directly on the eggs. Other than that it sounds good!

Awesome! Believe me, I know how it is to open your female's cage and see unexpected eggs; I nearly had a conniption and when I yelled for my man, he thought I was hyperventilating, lol.
Good luck incubating them; I hope your luck is better than mine. I only have one survivor out of 8 eggs. (still holding out hope for it though!)

Here's momma on her eggs (what eggs??)
