Lost my second egg...

JJay Aug 02, 2003 10:15 AM

This egg shrank to 1/2 its size and turned yellow. I candled it but saw no movement and it smelled too. (day 65 @ 82 deg.).

I opened the egg and she was almost completely developed! she had jungle patterning and a stripped tail.

Well, I have 9 more in the inc. the next clutch is due about mid August. We'll see how these go.
