Double Clutch!
Totally awesome news. Since I was only able to get 7 viable eggs out of Apopha's first clutch, I did a little research on double clutching to see if it was something that was possible. She was the proper weight and had taken several meals.....and having regained her strength enough, I felt that it was within the bounds of "doable". So, I introduced her to Adam again. This time, since I was in control of the situation, I was able to catch them "locked" (though I forgot to take pictures, sorry!) and was then aware that she was probably gravid. Once she went into her pre-lay shed, I knew she needed a moss box to lay in, so I got everything prepared for her, so she wouldn't have to have them in the substrate like the first time. After she shed, she became highly active, looking for a way out of her enclosure and then I went to check on her and found these! 22 eggs AGAIN, only two of which look like they are probably slugs this time. I'm so excited, I can't see straight. The two probably slugs are at the bottom of the picture and are kind of an orange-y cream color. And so...the waiting begins once more.
