My first clutch ever is finally on the ground. The pairing was a Pastel Lesser x Mocha. The Mocha was a mere 1500ish grams when I started to pair her, and she was a small 1500 grams. She has a very small frame so I was expecting about 3 or 4 eggs but I got 7 beautiful eggs. One of them is a boob egg, but hardly so. I candled all of them and they all have veins.

Now I have a question. I placed my probe from the Herpstat Intro in the egg tub, as well as an Accurite thermometer. They are side by side, by the probe is reading 88 degrees, the accurite is reading 90 degrees. What do I do? Do I stuck to what the Herpstat says or the accurite? Or go with something in the middle?

Also, is placing the probe in the tub ok? The ambient temp in cooler outside the tub is 92 degrees, but the inside of the tub is reading 88. Is this normal?


Anyway here are some pictures. Hopefully every one of them is a Pastel Blue Eyed Lucy.
