Update on how the eggs are doing.
So lost 4 of them to small flys getting inside the container somehow. Found maggots. So pissed. I changed the container and cleaned the eggs some but was careful not to turn them. 3 more are still soft and will try to post photos of them. Might be unfertile. This is my first clutch of eggs ever. 1 is almost fully collapsed. I think is not viable. So started with 24 eggs. 2 were clearly duds from the start. 8 more not going to hatch out. So 14 left. Most of them looking great nice and white.
What an education I am getting by doing this. I did have it a little to moist inside the container also. Now is 97% humidity inside the container. Sitting steady at 80-82F. Over a month of waiting to go. My GF is on pins and needles about them. She takes every egg as serous as she would a baby. I think she looks at their temps several times a day to keep watch over them like a mother hen. I think breeding boas are easier than egg layers????? Cant wait to see if we get all albinos or some normal. Both parents are albino.
Wish us luck.
