This thread isn't as long yet--still waiting on eggs. But they should be here about mid-June. I need a male spider het hypo out of this clutch. Here's to hoping for a nice-sized clutch like my other two girls have given me so far. My female het albino is a ~2,000 gram girl and first-time mom, just like my female hypo, so maybe I'll get lucky again.

Eggs were laid today!

Eggs Laid (6/20/2012)




10 healthy eggs from a first-time mom! I couldn't believe this!




Eggs in Egg Box:




Here's to hoping for a male spider het hypo! I need one to hold back to make some honeybees. Looks like I wound up with more chances to produce one than I thought--I fully expected 4-5 eggs, maybe 7 if I was reeeeeeally lucky. Getting 10 never even crossed my mind; I almost hit the floor when I got the mom off the eggs and counted.

Congrats, but it still might be a good idea to candle them if you haven't done that already. My first time mom laid 9 eggs, all looked great, but it appeared that 3 were not fertile anyway .
Good luck!

Already done. I did that as soon as I got mom off of them. LOL (But that is very good advice to anyone breeding BPs--I didn't know to do that the first couple of years I was breeding.) I do that anyway now, but especially since this clutch had 2 eggs that weren't really bright white; however, I caught her right when she got finished laying, and I don't think the last couple had completely "hardened" (or at least as much as a snake egg hardens haha), as they were still extremely soft and prone to creasing when I moved them around. They have solidified (maybe that's a better word than "hardened" ) now, and all seem to be bright white, with the exception of a couple with spots that may turn into "windows." But I've had eggs in the past that had "windows" in them that hatched out perfectly healthy, so I don't see any reason why these would be any different. Hopefully they all hatch out just fine--guess I'll see in a couple of months! haha And maybe the "window" eggs will be easy to candle later in development to see if there's spiders in them.
