    Surprise eggs!

    I suspected my lesser platinum girl (Cordelia) was gravid, but wasn't expecting eggs anytime soon - seeing as it's only April, plus I hadn't caught the ovulation or major "swelling." But I went to check on her tonight, and found her laying next to four little eggs! Oddly she wasn't coiled around them, and didn't even care when I reached in to touch them. Is that weird? Guess it's irrelevant now, but apparently she has no interest in incubating this clutch.

    It's a good thing I keep all the basic supplies on hand, along with a Little Giant incubator. I've got it heating up now, so will transfer the eggs once everything seems stable... then I'll offer Cordelia a meal tonight, as she looks REALLY deflated. She was barely 1500g before the breeding, so perhaps that explains her lack of coiling. Anyway, this was a Mojave x Lesser pairing, so please send me those BEL vibes! I've only got four chances at it, and reaaaally want to get at least one Lucy.

    When our girl had her first clutch she didn't coil around them. They were all over her cage. Congrats!

    Thanks everyone! I did candle them, and everything looks good... I hope to see one of those heads peeking out in June.
