The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...

[Kinra]

Things have been pretty crazy for me lately. It's hard being away from my pets during most of the week and trusting them to my sister. I thought I would give some updates on major things that have happened. I know the title is the good, the bad and the ugly, but I'm going to do them in reverse order. I don't like dewling on baf things.

The ugly:
I sadly lost an entire clutch of ball pythons eggs. My normal female layed 10 good eggs but I messed up and lost them all. I've learned a lot from that experience and I hope I don't lose an entire clutch again in the future.

I also lost 2 crested geckos recently. A little red harley I purchased from a friend and my nicest breeding female passed away. My sister is caring for them and I have no idea why they died. She's trying her hardest so I can't really blame her. I think the heat wave might have done them in. I am buying an AC for her room so that should help.

The bad:
My cinny female escaped and hasn't been seen in a 2 weeks. I have a feeling she will turn up eventually.

The good:
My first two crested geckos hatched and they are just too cute!

They are horrible cell phone pictures, but here they are:






Here is mom, she was a freebie craigslist pick up so I have no idea what dad looks like:

Look at the little cuties!!
So sorry about your losses. Do you mind sharing what happened with your clutch? As a first year breeder I'm trying to soak up as much info (good and bad) as I can.

I tried to go the maternal incubation route, but with my animals being 2-3 hours away from me during the week and not being able to see them for a couple of weeks due to having things to do where I spend the week I'm not 100% on exactly what killed them. It was probably a combination of a lot of things.

Got it. Well I hope nice season goes better for you!
