I forgot to post an update on my old amel corn, Miss Pink. This is the one that weighed 1156 grams, pic in a post below. Well, she slugged out! Only six slugs, too. She's so fat I thought for sure she had a bunch in her.

Other corns so far have produced 20 from butter motley to amel motley het butter, 25 from multi-het to lavender motley, 12 from candy cane to amel motley het butter. Not a corn, but my black pine laid 15 eggs yesterday - woohoo!

Two more corns to go, plus a cal king.

I'm gonna hate myself when all these hatch!

Only 6 eggs? Are yo sure she doesn't have more? Congrats on the Black Pine eggs! Post some pics of the proud parents.

Yeah, only six! I have palpated her fat belly several times.

I posted a pic of the gravid black pine on the pine/gopher forum. She looks like a deflated balloon right now, poor thing.

LOL, I'll go check out the pine on the other forum, thanks!

Old females tend to slug out more often. She might be best as a nice pet at this point. I must say she is beautiful. Looks very well taken care of.

Thanks, Mark. I hadn't planned to breed her, but since she went to all the trouble to go off feed / ovulate, etc., I did place a male with her. She always lays 6 to 10 slugs, every year, no matter what. So, I'm not really surprised, or disappointed.
