The good news is that my hets proved out.

The bad news is that we moved while my clutches were still incubating and had an accident -- two of my incubators were knocked over and one got completely smooshed -- two of the eggs ended up getting torn open - they were near the end of the incubation - but the clown and a possible het ended up being forced out of their eggs -- at least they were out (still attached to their yolk) when I found them -- I did the best I could with them, but it was too early and to traumatic -- they ended up dying within a few days. Broke my heart made me wanna give up breeding. But accidents happen -- something you just have to get past I guess.

Almost bought a clown at the show yesterday to make it up to myself - tho.

Will have to try again next year -- perhaps with a little more weight my female will give me lots of little clowns.

Wow, real sorry to hear that. Not expecting that horror story. Don't even know what to say. I would still be crying.

LOL, I guess they'd be too preoccupied to really care if you was lookin'
