Timor Eggs Revisited (Frank if yer there....)

reddragon01 Apr 20, 2004 05:59 PM

Still watching my timor eggs, its been about 11 weeks now. My question is, it seems like the eggs have increased noticibly in girth and length (slightly, but noticibly) over the past week or so. Is this a good sign, bad sign, or really doesn't indicate anything. The eggs otherwise look good, still retaining a smooth round surface, no discoloration. Thanks much!

Normally, odatria eggs diapause for about a month(somethings it does not happen) then the develop. Once they start to develop, they indeed grow.

Too much growth is not a good thing as it may mean there is too much water. But your discription sounds great.

Fingers are crossed. FR
