Well we have our second clutch. It turned out to be 1 good egg and 2 slugs ... . I am happy that we got something.This female was bred to Blaze, our pastel male. Crossing my fingers for a Pastel female hatchling!!!!

This does bring up a couple of questions that I hope some more experieced breeders can answer.

1. This was the first female that I felt follicles in (very early November), and I am pretty sure I had felt at least 5. So is it possible for some to develop, and others to re-absorb?

2. Blaze did not start locking with this female until about 2 months ago, and I had assumed we had missed the timing and she was not going to lay. Is it possible that the timing being so late is what caused only 3 eggs to grow?

Anyway Blaze has been breeding with another female that has started to grow huge, and is bowl wrapping like crazy. So hopefully we will have a chance at more pastels.

Oh yeah, the one good egg was 102 grams, the whole clutch was only 175 grams.
