Our highly anticipated clutch from PosterChild finally arrived today and we could not be happier.







This girl has developed quite the group of followers (you know who you are!) over the years. She is a very LTC animal that is roughly 10-12 years old and has never laid eggs until now. It didn't help that we and previous owners thought she was a boy up until last year!



But whatever the case, we got eggs from her and that's all that matters. She was being a good mommy to her eggs....when I went in to get the eggs, she was shivering on top of them to keep them warm



Here's the final tally:



11 fertile eggs

0 infertile eggs (OMG!)



Clutch weight: 500 grams



Poster Child postlay weight: 1110 grams





She spent 30% of her total body weight to make these eggs....and it shows. SHe is just about the skinniest postlay Carpet I have ever seen. Hopefully she bounces back okay.

But she did a great job and we could not be more pleased!



Now here's a pic of both parents:

And the daddy, Herman...







Thanks for looking!
