Happy Birthday to Me!

[rodentslayer]

Well, Big red decided to celebrate my b-day a day early. She is still laying as we speak, so here's a quick pic of the action! The clutch was sired by none other than Tomato Bomb. I picked up a few animals from Jason H. and I have to say I look at these bloods probably about 20x a day. These animals are top notch specimens. They absolutely glow. As strange as it sounds, I actually took a pic about 1hr before she started laying. So you can see what a blood looks like RIGHT before they lay.

Thanks everyone! She ended up laying 17 eggs with no slugs. It was kinda sad to see her trying to stay on the eggs when I removed her. She didnt strike, hiss, or show any aggression which was nice. These bloods are very mellow considering their reputation. Here's the much needed eggs pic.

Wash her and her enclosure of the egg scent, then she won't continue to try and incubate them.

That is sad that she was still trying to stay on the eggs when you were removing her. It's just her motherly instinct though.

Thanks...she is all washed up and her cage is clean. I'll offer her a rat on feeding day and get back up to fighting weight.
