More Marshmallows!!!!! Clutch 2

Yay! Echo went 33 days post shed and she finally laid today. She was laying when I first checked on her about 4:15 this afternoon and had 2 eggs laid at that time. So I put her back up and called Kara for moral support and waited until about 7:45 to check on her again and had four lovely marshmallows (which is what I had palpated and was expecting).

Echo was bred to my 100% het clown male Oliver so I'm hoping for all females in this clutch.

Here they are on one of their dates - she is of course the darker and larger one:

Her today (and I had turned the flexwatt down earlier today so that it wasn't too warm)

The four marshmallows (still no jokes about the stove shots! LOL)

In the egg box:

And I'd like some feedback from those who are experienced with eggs - is this something to be concerned about or I should watch carefully through incubation? What causes it?

Being the perfectionist that I am - I wasn't happy to see it:

Awesome Robin!:gj:

Woohoo!! Congrats Robin, man you are putting out those clutches right and left now, I am hoping you have all females from this clutch, Good luck!!!

Thanks John, any feedback on that spot on the egg? Worrisome or not?

Shaun - just one more clutch to wait for here and right now I'm waiting for her pre-lay shed (she's in shed right now) and then her countdown to lay.

She'll lay a little over 1/2 way into the incubation of these two clutches. These snakes timed these clutches "perfectly". By my calculations, these two clutches will hatch when I'm due to be in NC for a week (so they're coming with me) and Sierra's probably during Daytona (so they're coming with me too! LOL).

Beat me to it this time ;)

Crossing my fingers for an all girl clutch :please:

How many more clutches are you expecting Robin?

Robin! Congrats!!!! Oliver got 'er done :)

Don't sweat it on that egg. Its really common and 9 times out of 10 it will hatch just fine. To my understanding that spot often happens on the egg that is the first one out.. has something to do with being first in line...

Hoping for lots of girls :)

Yaaay!! Nice and plump, and mom is quite the looker. :gj:

I wouldn't worry too much about it, windows like that are relatively common and rarely cause any problems.
Congrats!!

When are you coming to NC and where? I wanna come see you and your babies!!!! Not the Raleigh show in August??

Spot looks like a window :) No problems there. Will actually, if it stays fertile, give you a good view of the animal without the need for lights, if you are lucky!!

Congrats, my friend!!!:D

Nice eggs Robin! I'm sure what's inside is perfect!

Congrats Robin...
BT

Congrats Robin! I'm jealous!

Awww look what Echo did! They look wonderful Robin. Our only experience with our one window egg so far was that it did just fine. The window never seemed to get bigger or go nastly and the hatchling that came out was perfectly normal. :)

congrats :sweeet:

Congrats Robin. I bet you are getting excited about hatching season now. (Although there is still some more waiting involved)

Oliver's eggs have <sniffle> gone into the same 'bator that their father was hatched in <sniffle> - I'm getting all weepy and emotional now! :)

Thanks Evan - I've loved Echo since she was a baby - she's a sweet girl, and although I was warned, I'm still shocked at the transformation their bodies go through after laying - that's a lot on their bodies!

Oh - I've got some things between now and then to keep me pre-occupied for a little while. Hopefully the time will fly by!

Darn I will be in NY when you are here in Greensboro! Ah well you have to post pics so I can see! Congrats again!!! :D

Yeah Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont worry about the window, just think of it as a place to peak on the lil bugger.

Thanks Raul! Everyone keeps calling it a window - but it's not clear, and I certainly can't see in the egg through it - is it something that turns more clear the longer it incubates?

Congrats! Wish you all the best. :gj:

Good luck with them.:gj:

When some things hatch I will finally post some pictures.

I am pretty late on this one, but I still want to say congrats on the new clutch.:gj:
