    We've got eggs!

    She seemed pretty restless last night, and it appeared that she had moved the eggs down quite a bit. I went to sleep and woke up realizing I shouldn't have.

    We ended up with four good (HUGE) eggs, and one slug. The good ones all candled fertile. The first egg I removed was off to the side on it's own, and was pretty cold to the touch when I picked it up. So, I'm not sure if it's going to be okay or not. At most, it may have been there for three hours. I went to sleep around two and removed them at around five this morning. If I had stayed up, I would have moved it to the incubator immediately. Anyway, fingers crossed. If all goes well, they should start pipping around June 30th. This is the first time I've ever done this, so it's been pretty crazy.


    And here they are. Going substrateless this time. Temps and humidity are all good. I'm probably going to fix them up so no one rolls though.


    And the one slug.

    The pairing is dinker to normal. Actually the "dinker" was pretty much proved for something by Steve Winkler. You can see some of his visual offspring here: See clutch #11! They're pretty neat. So these will be hets for whatever that is, I assume. Unless I get some sort of surprise. You never know.


    Here's the mother, Mort. As far as I know, completely normal and het for nothing. Sorry for the bad photo, too. I need to set up a light tent for these guys and get some better ones.



    And there's the dad, "Maverick". I wish I had good comparison pics of the two. He's so much lighter than Mort. Really cool "jungle" pattern too.

    Thanks, everyone! I'll be sure to post again when they hatch.

    @AcePythons - I think so. Mine is a ReptiPro 5000, if that's what you have. One of these!

    Yeah, as long as the humidity is up and they aren't coming in contact with any water, they should be alright. Looking good so far, anyway! We'll see how it goes. I couldn't find a suitable container I could fit either, so I just set them on the tray.
