New Mom and Her Eggs - Pics

[jjspirko]

Sienna (which means reddish brown of the earth or clay) just laid a nice clutch of 9 eggs from her breeding about two months ago with “Cash” one of our red male breeders who always produces for us.

She was so swollen I was starting to worry that she might be egg bound, she actually laid a single egg about a week ago then laid 8 more today. Her eggs are now cooking in one of our Hoverbator incubators and should hatch around January 4-6th of 2008 which should make them our first new babies of 08!

Here is a pic of the eggs all settled into the incubator,

Next here is a picture of Sienna who is now a lot thinner and resting. She will be on a power mouse diet soon getting back into full form for her next clutch. She will probably have yet another clutch without a second breeding. She is a beautiful gal and I am sure her babies will be real lookers.

Congrats!! Those eggs are so tiny .

They are small eggs compared to BP of course but I think perhaps with nothing in the pic for scale you thought the deli cup was one of those small delis that hatchlings are displayed in? It is actually the next size up in cups. The cup is about 6 inches across and the eggs about 3/4" long and of course they will grow as they mature like most reptile eggs.

Everyone else thanks for the congrats! And ZEKESMOM perhaps it was another forum as I always use that pic but my name here has always been the same,

I don't know how many times you have heard this already but congrats! They're going to hatch in early January? That's not too far away! Be sure to tell us when they hatch!
