Once upon a time...kidding.
Not really. About 6 years ago I purchased my first pair of Balls with the intent of breeding them. They were a pair of 100% het pieds. Well as many of you know, things don't always go as planned. Since the purchase I have bred multiple animals the past few years, all younger than the hets...still virgins. The female has always been a stubborn feeder...
But,
This year she finally reached a size where I felt she was ready to breed...finally. I had successful locks and was expecting maybe 4 eggs from her max. She is about a 1,350 gram animal, stout.
Well this morning she dropped...7 pearly whites. They are a bit on the small side. I candled them to find hardly any veins. The veins I did find...I think...where hair-thin. They may have been nothing but a product of wishful thinking.
My question...I plan on incubating them of course...just in case. Has anyone ever had success hatching animals from eggs/clutches they did not think were viable to begin with?
Thank you.
