3rd and most anticipated clutch

The first time I saw a pic of NERD Bumble Bee couple of years ago, I fell in love.

I could have been patient save up the money and buy one, however after thinking about it I thought it would be much more rewarding to hatch my own so I decided to buy a Spider and a Pastel (of course a few other snakes made it to the list as well.)

So after raising both my pastel and my spider since they were babies time finally came to breed them which I did, and now my patience is paying off Zoe my female spider layed 7 eggs this morning (37 days after her pre-lay shed).

I cannot tell you how excited I am right now, this is my first year breeding and I am getting so close to hatch my first bee (crossing my fingers on that).

So now all I have to do is wait some more like 37 days were not enough already. :rolleyes:

7 Fertile Eggs – 609 grams

And poor Zoe is now back to 1405 grams!

Did I mention how excited I was??? http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...appyDance1.gifhttp://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...appyDance2.gif

:rolleyes: I wonder why ;)

Buzz buzz little bees! Congrats Deb, I can't wait to see this clutch of yours pip out!

Congrats Deborah. I think you have a pretty good shot at a Bee from 7 eggs. Just think, we got 3 Bees form 6 eggs. I think you'll do great. Although, I know that doesn't help the wait any. Good luck, and I am praying for a pair at the bare minmum.

Congrats and here is to 7 bees :gj: :banana:

i see a bee in your future! :D

WOOOO HOOOO..Hey congrats.. :D

Bring on the BEEEZZZ

Congrats Deb. :)

Knowing how sweet you are on that girl I am ecstatic for you!

I can imagine how nice those babes will be.

Cannot wait to see those faces pipping... as I have said before *fingers crossed for twin girl bees*. :please:

Dare I say... after all your hard work with your collection and all the time spent getting other's husbandry on track... it is just good karma. :)

Bruce

PS: Safe to assume that Robin has dibs on a male? :snake:

Very nice! I can't even afford the things that make bees...lol. I would do anything for a spider and pastel pair.:taz:

Congrats to you Deb!!! I suspect to see 7 bees in your collection in 55 more days.:D

Best of luck on those eggs! :)

WHOOT DEB!!!! :banana: Bees are one of my VERY fav's, I hope to hit the odds next year...

I'm keeping all my toes, fingers, eyes, and wrinkling my nose for ya! :D

good luck!!! I sure hope you get some bees

Way to go, can't wait to see the results :banana:

Wow Deborah, I can feel your excitment from here!!! Congrats, that is a good sized clutch. Here's to some beautiful beeeeeees!

Justin

Congrats!! That has got to be awesome! Let's hope the odd gods take favor to you (but with 7 eggs I don't see how they can't) and you get several smokin' bees!! ^_^

I can understand buying one too because being patient is HARD, however there are a few morphs that I wanted to make extra special by hatching them myself.

My Pastel is a grazini line pastel that I bought from a small breeder.

Nice Deb. Not to get too far ahead but what would you like to breed with one of your beautiful bees someday? Mine is het for ghost/hypo so I'm leaning that way.

Iam holding my thumbs for you. Good luck and post pics when they hatch!
