This girl FINALLY laid today. It took 63 days and one meal after the pre-lay shed. All the eggs look good so far, no slugs yet! I will get some more pics later!

First egg out!

About 2-3 hours later

Thanks,

by my math that breeding took place later, that male would be a good male to use to make bateaters, most fertility problems with them are related to retics being past their fertilty period, all my males go in sept-nov like clockwork and my burms jan - march, unless your against hybrids you have a good shot with that male retic breeding later and he would match the burms season nicely. Just thining aloud lol!

I'm still waiting on the condas, hopefully I will just walk into some baby yellows roaming the cage one of these days... haha. And oh yes, I've been pacing since 1 pm, haha.

We'll see how easy it is after I get the eggs from her, haha. She is just now finishing up laying I think. She seems very un relaxed right now, haha.

Her copulations did take place around Nov-Dec, but my albino tiger male was breeding early Oct. to a lavender albino female I have as well. Although I don't have any burms to make Bats, I do have a het. albino Jungle Retic (bateater x retic) that I might try breeding next season, just speaking hybrids. Hopefully something will come of it!

Thanks!

Total = 16, 0 slugs!

Awesome Ben!!! I am assuming (don't like to) that female is het albino and your albino tiger is the sire? The sire part I figured from your above post, the female is het is my assumption.

Yep! female Het. Albino, male Albino Tiger!

Thanks a lot!

That's not at all bad for a first clutch, especially considering the length of time after ovulation to hatch and the fact that she ate!! Now comes the hard part: The wait for the hatching! Congratulations!

Thanks Patrick! I know, after she took that rat I was just shut down on that one! haha. That wait is already starting to kill me...haha.

Thanks again,
