Since they are so tiny I let my females maternally incubate. This is my newest female. Eggs should hatch out Early next month.
Thanks for looking,
Anthony Wrenn

Here she is in nesting box.

do you have any babies left?

Another photo of her and clutch of eggs.

That is a gorgeous female! Where did she come from?

Here is a pic of my palest female on her eggs. She is almost patternless. This clutch just hatched last week.

Hey Zach. How have you been? This female came from Eric Crider's line. Yours is a nice pale color. I had a baby like that and wondered if she was going to darken up later. I should have kept her. I actually want to keep almost every one that I produce.
How many adults do you have?

I have got 4 pairs of adults and a few holdbacks. I just hatched a clutch of 12 and lost another clutch to mold. should have more on the way soon.

Your female has a very interesting pattern. I haven't seen one with blotches that large before.

Not a bad amount. Sorry to hear about your egg loss as well. How did the mold get on them? Was the humidity too high? I once thought about trying to raise humidity to about 90-95% to see what happens but with only 1 clutch (per female) a year I decided I would not chance it yet.

I figured she would have lost most of her pattern by now but it is still holding true. I think it provides a nice contrast. However, your pale Anthill is great looking as well.

This year I let a few females stay on their clutches for the first time. I am a colubrid guy so it was hard for me to let go of my incubator! But those clutches are doing great.

I put two clutches in the incubator at 90 degrees with around 90% humidity. Both started off fertile. One clutch hatched 100%. The other got a little dot of blue mold on one egg and proceded to spread and I lost them all. sometimes it just happens. i try and be as clean as possible but you can't be sterile with eggs. Some molds are just more invasive than others. I have seen moldy eggs hatch and I have seen some with just a dot that died.

Next summer I am going to try to ID any molds that grow.

How old is that female? How many eggs did she lay?
