On a sad note

Jody P. Aug 14, 2003 07:40 PM

I ruined my ornate cross common nile egg's. She laid 6 egg's 3 proved to go the long haul only to never hatch. Inside of each egg was a full developed dead baby

My nile was a first time mom and it was my first at trying to incubate nile egg's. I guess better luck next time.
The babies were kinked and the stomachs did not close. Poor things I feel bad about it. I was going to post the pictures but decided maybe it was to graphic. If you'd like to see them email me. I am not afraid to share my stupidity and failures.

If any of you are headed to Daytona if I make it I will see you there.

Good thing the moms are indifferent. We'd all have female lizards in therapy...

There's always next time! =)
