Well, the last two eggs I had cooking hatched last night, and I thought you all might like to hear some of my stats from the year.
7 females laid eggs for me
-all first time breeders
-all 9 of Bitie’s eggs were infertile
68 documented eggs
-22 hatched
I learned a lot this year, thanks to many of you, so my hatch rate was much better towards the end of the season. I’m sure next year will be even better. I have a few more females that are of age now, and I have a new male coming from K&N.
I believe my makeshift incubator, and temperature fluctuations were to blame for loosing so many eggs. I tried to copy trempers incubation method at first, but soon realized it wasn’t working for me.
My nicest hatchings came from Superman (hypo CT) and Kermit (jungle), they were born 9/27 and 9/26. Here is the picture of them again:
