Caught in the act!!

[Lolo76]

Nearly 3 weeks after her "due date," Nerissa has finally laid her eggs... well, at least she WAS laying when I had to leave for work. Yeah, literally 10 minutes before I had to leave this morning, I found her IN THE ACT of laying #1 - which looks good and healthy, from what I could tell. We had a meeting at 11am sharp (the time I go in to work), so I really did have to snap a couple pics and run out the door. Now I'm stuck here until 8pm, and sooooo anxious to get home and check on the final tally/condition.

Btw, I decided to have them incubated at East Bay Vivarium (Berkeley CA), since it wasn't feasible to do it myself this season... they have incubation services for $25, and will also buy any/all babies right out of the egg. And wish me luck on getting her to eat asap, since she's a super problem eater & hadn't fed for 6 months prior to now - wasn't going to breed her even though she's technically heavy enough, but an early-season lock apparently did the trick. I'll get her a fresh pre-killed rat (she prefers p/k or f/t over live) at EBV tomorrow, and hopefully that will spark her interest. Anyway, here are the pics!!





P.S. She was bred to a Mojave & Pastel, but I'm pretty sure the Mojo will win this round (again).
