2ays is the longest I guess I was hoping it would happend automatic. Sometimes weeks sounds like a long time but might need to try it. I just know my male was 940 and now hes like 800 and something. Picky eater that guy has turned to be for me. He ate about a week ago but he will sometimes go a month with out food. Just hope that doesnt make it harder. As far as I know this gurl gave out a nice clutch of 7 only 5 hatched, five eggs is good enough for her. What about the young guys think I should leave them in for awhile also and see what happens?
