So I have about 8 or 9 females that I think are gravid, either they ballooned up, I saw the ovulation, and or I saw/recorded the prelay shed. So today I am feeding the 05's, and my males, and my females that did not go this year. I slide open a tub to feed one of my poss het Hypo females, she is under the newspaper, so I pull it back, want to make sure she is not in the blue or anything before tossing in a rat, and low and behold she is wrapped around an egg. That is right, one egg, the biggest single Ball egg I have ever seen, and two of the biggest slugs I have ever seen. The slugs are white, not yellow, so I decided to put them in the 'bator and candle them later and see what gives. A nice surprise, she was bred to my Ghost male. What do you think the chances are that "Eggbert" is a nice Ghost....ERRRRRR, "Eggbertha" is a nice Ghost female? Because I must have missed the ovulation and shed, I have not really been checking her tub three times daily like the "obviously gravid" females, I have no idea when they were laid, but would have to be Tues, Wed., or today. Can I get a collective crossing of everyones' fingers please? I hopoe it hatches.

Many a false step is made from standing still.
This is the Egg and one of the slugs, the other slug was tossed.
