This is only my second year breeding balls, but I didn't have any trouble getting her back to her normal size within a few weeks of her eggs hatching last year. I don't anticipate any problems with her or any of the other females this year.

Cool vids. Can't wait to see what the babies look like! I hope you get a few pastels out of the first two clutches.

I neglected to mention in my last post here about an incident with Dewshine's clutch. For whatever reason, one of the eggs from her clutch (the weird snowflakey eggs) was rolled out when I checked on her the other day. She loosened her coils when I opened the tub and I was able to carefully place it back with the other eggs. I did candle it because I was afraid that something might have happened to it after having rolled. It was still moving around inside so I closed things up and left her alone. I came back later that night and the same egg was rolled out. I actually pulled Dewshine off of the eggs and held her with one hand while I put the roll-away-egg closer to its sibling eggs with the other. When I was confident that all four of the eggs were sitting snug together, I placed Dewshine back in the tub. She immediately coiled around them and I made sure that her coils held the problematic egg in place before I closed the tub again. I haven't had any further trouble with roll outs. The egg I was so worried about is actually the egg featured in Dewshine's vid above.

What good Mommys...they are keeping those eggs looking nice and healthy. Not going to ever breed, but it seems like maternal incubating would be the the natural thing to do...seems like you wouldnt have to worry as much. I always see the pics of the eggs with dents, mildew and all sorts of other prob, but these eggs look so healthy...I wonder why more people wouldnt do it.
