EGGS, Finally my first clutch!

[ARBallMorphs]

Congratulations on your belated easter eggs!

Thanks, yeah they where just in time it was 23.15 on 2nd Easter day when I pulled the clutch (I live in Holland/Europe)

That's a very nice first clutch Andrew congrats

If you think you are excited now wait till they start pipping it's the best feeling that will get you hooked for life.

Thanks Deborah, I believe you, though I think I am already hooked haha

Congrats on your first clutch! Isn't it the best?

Hey Aerial, yeah it sure is!

Congratulations on the beautiful eggs! Good luck proving out your ph hypo.

Be prepared-- the wait will be excruciating! Totally worth it though when you see your first pips.

Hey thanks, in all honesty, I did this pairing to single out the "+ extra" the male has but the closer she came to laying her eggs the more I started thinking about the fact that he is a ph Hypo and that I could get Hypo's. We'll see I got my fingers crossed.

Awesome clutch. How much did she weigh before laying?

Thanks Galaxy, she weighed around 3300 grams before her first lock, I didn't weigh her after that anymore. and though I am very excited I did have a little scare after I took her of her eggs, I knew she would be skinny but wow she now only weighs 1975 grams and really looks skinny where some of my others look really good with their 1700 grams or so haha.

Congrats!

Thank you!

Congratulations! 10 healthy eggs for a first clutch, so cool! 41 days, that must have felt like a year :-)

Thanks WmHrbst, yeah you are right it did seem such a long time and I am normally not the guy with the most patience when he is really looking forward to something, there where times I could run my head in to a wall the first 30 days I could handle but after that.....

Congratulations! Do you already have Day 60 circled on the calendar? Look forward to seeing the little babies poking their heads out and crawling out!

In all honesty, I circled day 55 I won't cut any eggs before at least 1 has pipped but from day 55 I'll start looking twice every day if I have pippers haha

Congrats Andrew. That's a big first clutch and lots off chances to prove out the phet. I'm looking forward to May.

thank you rldit, though it is my frst clutch it was her 4th clutch, in the past she has had a 6 egg cluch and two 7 egg clutches but it is her first clutch with me and indeed with 10 chances enough to see if the male is a het Hypo.


a couple of question though, I at first was thinking to start feeding her next week, but now that I have seen how skinny she is I really do not want to wait that long, when do I start offering food to her again?
I understand i have to start with a small rat, and do I feed her once a week a small rat for a couple of times or is it ok to give her a small rat every 5 days untill she goes back to her normal sized prey item?
and how long do I keep feeding her small rats untill she can switch back to her normal prey size?

Thanks,

Andrew
