Got eggs? (Dialup warning!)

[Kara]

Photos from March 9th...my female Malaysian yellow blood laid her first clutch...wheeee!

First off, here's a pic of Saffron with her hubby, "Mello Yello." Normally she's a brightly colored animal...I was surprised how much she darkened up while gravid!



Here she is being a fabulous mom!!!




Final count was 15 perfect eggs, no duds or slugs. The eggs were smaller than what I'd expected (bloods tend to lay big eggs), but I'm certainly NOT complaining!!!!



Doin' the happy naner dance!!!

whats the diff between duds and slugs?

and why is one of the eggs sorta wrikkled is that normal?

[Kara]

Duds = eggs that look perfect, but when candled, have no veins.

Slugs = immature ovum.

Wrinkly egg - she laid eggs outside of her nest box, so I would assume that's one that conformed to a wrinkle in the newspaper she laid them on while the egg was still very soft. Happens all the time.

KLG-
do you mark the eggs with x's so you know what is the correct position to incubate them in?

can't wait to see hatchling pics!!
