So I went on vacation and of course a couple of the girls I thought were going to go weeks ago both decided to lay while I was gone lol. Nice surprise to come home to, I just hope it was humid enough and mommas did a good enough job incubating for the up to 7 days they were on their own. I did make sure to soak their substrate before I left just in case so I'm pretty sure they are good. They all look great and are safe in the incubator.
This is the first clutch for both these girls and I think they both did great considering.
First clutch, inferno x freeway, 5 eggs no slugs.
She's never been a good eater, at 3 years old she was only 1100-1200 grams but she was showing signs of building so I paired her and she finally started slamming medium rats weekly for a few months straight while I paired her. She went off food about a month ago and now just laid five huge healthy eggs. She still has a good healthy build and you'd never guess she just laid eggs. She's a good example of why the weight to start breeding females is more of a guidline, she's not the first girl I've had give a nice healthy clutch and still have a good healthy build right after laying. I think age and build can be a better indicator than weight. I do believe if you decide to pair a female in this weight range it is important to continue feeding through the breeding season, both females I had go this light pounded food until a month before laying.
I'd love to hit a freeway or two with this clutch especially with hgw and pastel but the odds gods will have to be with me, it would be really cool to hit a worlds first freeway though that's for sure!
Second clutch, disco bee x orange dream fire black pastel, 8 healthy eggs no slugs
This girls been a little piggy since I got her. I believe shes 3-4 and she was over 3000g when I started pairing her, she went off food fairly quickly but after 8 nice healthy eggs she still looks big and thick.
This clutch I'm hoping for some disco inferno combos but this ones all luck, something like 1/64 for all the many possibilities if I remember right but I should hopefully get a nice variety of combos at least.
Time to sit back and try to wait patiently.
