Well, this is a pretty special day for me. This is my first time ever breeding anything, an of all things to be first....Eastern Indigos. So yesterday the female laid one infertile egg the big oblong one to the side. Then all last night she did nothing but make me worry. This morning she laid another small infertile egg then pushed out 8 good eggs and one more infertile one for a total of 11. She started up at 10:30am and finished around 5pm. She is pretty thin now but is back to herself as far as personality she even rattled her tail a little when I took the after shot of her. QUESTION: Anything special I can do as far as rehabilitating her and fattening her back up (comments or suggestions)? Now I just wait and watch. Two of the eggs have weird ends one is kinda green and weird, might be from the moss. They are the first two in the top left hand corner.QUESTION The three duds on the paper towel are no good right? And what about the two with the weird ends...what do you think will become of those? Im really blessed to have been able to experience this, hope they all hatch...
