Very very nice !!!
How long did you hibernate them and at what temperatures ?
My female laid 9 slugs last month.

I went on a vacation last Sept so I quit feeding in the middle of August. I cooled them to around 50F at the beginning of Oct. Took them out and warmed them up at the end of Dec. This was a first. I usually cool them from the middle of Nov to middle of Jan. They were breeding by early March.
The rest is history.

Russ,

The photo of the adult female still blows me away every time I see it. That's the most impressive Black Pine I've ever seen!

Congrats on the eggs.

Brian
