So after many months of waiting for any female to drop eggs this year, one of my female pastels finally gave me 5 healthy eggs today. It's a small clutch, but she's still fairly small herself (was at 1175g after laying) and this is only her 2nd year breeding. She was paired with my bumblebee male.
Now I bombed on the 4 eggs this pairing gave me last year, with 2 pastels, 1 spider, and 1 normal (the low-end half on odds), so I'm hoping it's made up to me this year with a couple killerbees, super pastels and a bumblebee in the clutch. I don't think that's too much to ask!
Anyway, here are pictures of the mom on eggs, and the eggs in their incubation box!
Please excuse the ad on the newspaper above, I would have removed that had I noticed it when I was taking pictures.
Thanks for looking!
