So, a while back I posted a note about a clutch of black milks laid 27 days after pre-egg lay shed. I did not have high hopes even though the eggs all looked great and big. Well, of the seven eggs laid on July 23, I have one remaining. Here's a pic:

Let's hope it makes it. I'm not too surprised the other ones molded over. 27 days between shed and egg laying is very unusual in my experience.

That happened to me in one of my clutches this year. My snow (first time breeder this year) was mated with my Hypo Extreme het anery. I was looking forward to 9 little hatchlings (a combination of either triple hets or some anerys double het hypo/albino). Well, only one survived and it's a female triple het, which I am keeping cause something tells me that she will be special, given that she eats anything you offer to her...plus her hypo gene is from the hypo extreme line anyways.

Maybe if that lone survivor of yours hatches, you should keep it?

Ray:

I do plan on keeping it. It's a huge egg and I've sold the mother (she's a retired breeder now) so I want something to remember her by. Hopefully I can keep it and a hatchling from my other clutch to make a pair.
