Well not much to see, was checking on the good old incubator and had to get a few shots of a head poking out. I will post pics in a few days of what crawls out.

This one decided to hide again, nervous netty!

Nice, Jimmy! I love campbelli. They were my second ever triangulum acquisition (after pales).

Thanks Cole! Yea, I have kept campbelli for probably 5 yrs straight now (had them in the early 90's too)and I couldn't imagine a triangulum collection without a pair or two! As much as I like working with the Mexican triangulum I really miss having NA milks in the collection. All you guys post incredible NA milks here, so I have decided to add some this fall and then some more later on too.....

I'm guessing you had a good hook up in early March?

How many days did these guys cook at and what were the temps?

Congrats!

Thanks Rusty!

I'm guessing you had a good hook up in early March?

Actually they come out of cooling around Feb 14, I think this year they came out on the 17. I start putting the pairs together at 14 to 21 days. Shed or no shed. This particular female has been laying fairly early the past 2 years. She bred on March 1,6,7,9. She laid her clutch on the 15th of April. Then bred again on April 17,18,19. and laid her 2nd clutch on May 21.

How many days did these guys cook at and what were the temps?

The eggs were incubated at 80.5 average, I had a couple of days that the incubator hit 83, and a few in the beginning that were at 79.3. 67 days to hatch. I have a L.ruthveni clutch that was laid on 4/17/11 and started pipping the day after these, so about 65 days.
