Just wanted to post an update, and answer a few of the questions... The bellies are nearly solid black, with slight hints of grey. As for the incubation, they were incubated well, so I think the eggs that did not survive may have been infertile. We've heard that a clutch of 20 eggs is kind of high, so I imagine that some of the eggs weren't fertile since this was the first clutch of the season.

As for the survivors, all are doing fine so far. JA01, JA04, and JA07 have all eaten a f/t unscented small pinkie mouse. The others we are just being patient with and will try feeding again in a couple days, and may try some sort of scent (sardines, salmon, etc.).

We're not sure how many (if any) we will keep, but we've gotten some pretty decent offers. I will post here when/if we decide to sell, but feel free to send an offer. When we decide to let some go, we will either take the best offer/trade deal, or just come up with a set price.

Thank you to all who have posted.
