This is the season for a good friend of mine:

First the success:

5 black pastels and 4 normals! (from 11 eggs total :-/)

The bad:

Cut 5 eggs on day 50:
2 Bees, 2 spiders, 1 pastel.
Fine one day, next day 4 are dead. One lone bee survivor.

Pastel female: 6 slugs.

Normal female: 6 eggs, one moldy, The moldy egg has a dead snake, 5 still left to hatch.

Normal female: slugs.

Normal: 2 eggs left to hatch, started with 4 or 5, not sure.

Bacteria infection in the 4 eggs that were cut and died? I know he said he didn't disinfect them before cutting...

With all the lost eggs, I'm thinking some minor details may be being forsaken...

Any thought?
