I have had a serious case of egg/hatchling envy seeing everyone else posting egg and baby pics. Our season is always later than everyone else, so this is nothing new, but I've recently had a bunch of work related stress and bad luck. So the fact that we didn't have any eggs yet really had me down. Looks like this girl decided to cheer me up with 7 nice ones. She was paired with our dinker Reduced Pattern male (I'm gonna dig up pics of him in a minute), and she is also very reduced pattern herself. And, for those of you curious about maternal incubation, mom maternally incubated her clutch last year, gained all her weight back and then some, and will be maternally incubating again this year.
