I am so excited I have my first eggs! I had 3 differant pairings last winter/spring and just assumed none of them took. Well it turns out the one I anticipated most actually did. Last week I noticed the Phantom female was looking a little chubby so I planned on throwing the male in after this weekends feeding to have a go for this winter. She didn't eat which is unusual for her. I came home Monday and went to check ont hem all and she was sitting funny stacked up like a soft serve ice cream. I tilted her a bit and saw the eggs. I quickly fired up the incubator and prepped everything. I am using the pvc pipe(spacer), lighting diffuser, plastic canvas, and just water method in the tubs. She hissed non-stop from the time I removed her tub until I got her into a holding tub but never struck although she looked like she would. I found 5 eggs and 4 candled with veins the 5th was hard to tell but the egg looked viable so I included it. Here's some pictures it was the first time for both of them both Phantoms. The female is a nice chocolate/blushed from Royer Reptiles and the male a very dark with broken patterning from Raphael Martinez at MAballs. Hopefully I get the super male I am looking for!
