Just a little update.

So far one egg has a small dent in it. The other egg is still just perfect looking, and there does appear to be some veins

Neither egg is showing any signs of rotting, mold or any thing to suggest I just throw them out.


As for the female, I found the eggs Nov. 3 she had to have laid them within 24 hours prior, maybe 48 at the most.

So that was roughly twelve days ago. She is still living on her own since I separated her from the other female. She has packed on another 6 grams She is either just really thriving since being put back on the repashy diet (which I hear they may be changing again) or she is producing more eggs. She has also been digging like crazy in her nest box for the last two nights.

So I am hoping since she is doing so well weight wise and that she eats like a horse that she may have retained sperm and I might get some mystery babies!!

Thats funny lol. My mom said the same thing when I talked to her the other day.

Well, another update. I noticed that she was digging the last 3 or 4 nights so I have been watching for eggs. She laid two more, one was dented and very yellow when candled. The other one....

Has the pink ring, with the dot in the middle. Very distinctive. I hadn't seen fertile eggs before so I wasn't 100% sure that they were either fertile or infertile. Now that I have seen one, I can definitely tell the difference.

So she must have retained sperm from being in the cage with the males from the store. I now have 1 mystery baby incubating and will hopefully hatch around my birthday

awe congrats, please do keep us posted on them!!

awesome, congrats! incubate the yellow one just in case--sometimes they look yellow for the first week or so but then they turn pink, get the pink ring and end up plenty fertile. sometimes i think they are just not as developed when they are laid or something.

Thank you, I am really excited.

I do have it incubating just it case.
I can't wait to see what the mystery baby looks like
