I haven't been on here a lot lately, and when I am it seems like I'm just posting up some random off-topic stuff. This is no exception, but I'm pretty excited about a few things so I'll share for anyone who is completely bored.

This is day 50 for my first clutch, so Saturday I'll be cutting windows in my four pastel x normal eggs. They're dimpling and generating heat like crazy. I'm obviously hoping for four killer female pastels.

My 2 mojave clutches (12 good eggs) still look as good as they did when they were laid, and 2-3 more females are making late moves building.

I posted on here in May that I was laid off from my job of 8 years. I applied to about 20 places and had one interview. This morning I got a call that I likely got a job doing the same kind of prepress work, likely for a better company, for 25% more than I was making. I may just make Daytona yet.

I also found out that my old job has to give me my accrued vacation time so I called and demanded it. I got a call this morning that they have a check ready for 9 days vacation pay.
My RAPTOR x APTOR het R leo pair laid her 3rd clutch of eggs yesterday, and I have a couple more females about to drop their second clutches in a week. She laid them in her water bowl, but I got to them right away so I'm hoping they make it. They've hardened up and look good, but I don't know how long they can go 3/4 covered in water and still make it. I have 4 clutches of gecko eggs in the incubator right now, and my first 2 from that same pairing should hatch in a couple weeks.

For those of you who saw my indoor garden thread, I finished my 30 plant aeroponic cloner and it works great. I also built a 14 site 2" wide x 24" tall aeroponic strawberry tree that basically grows 14 strawberry plants aeroponically and vertically in the same amount of space that a single plant would take up. It's running, and I must say, it's pretty cool. I've been building and using custom hydroponics and aeroponics systems for 8 years now, and I'm starting to think about making a few models to offer on my website like the incubators. It's almost as addicting as ball pythons.
