Congrats Angel!!! That is awesome!!!

Congrats bro! I'm almost surprised the eggs didn't come out black, cause I'm sure whats inside is. Did you have better luck with clutch size this time? And which male did you breed to her.. was this another of Tanks finally? Good luck with em.

Hey Rich,
Thanks! I've posted some additional shots of the female with the clutch, just prior to harvesting the egg's from her and setting them up. I had to separate some of the egg's from the top of the heap to set up in the egg containers, using some KY jelly to soften the adhesion that forms up with time. Harvesting took place some 12-14 ours later. That seemed to work fine with no apparent damage to egg's.

Big congrats..Im dying to get some black bloods this year..ones that aren't orange/cream headed ones..I can't wait to see those babies. Let us know how many eggs are in the final count.

I have dibs on a pair of those guys.........

Hey,
I'll keep everyone posted on the incubation and clutch as time permits. If interested, email me with your addy's. There will be limited numbers put up for sale, so it is a first come first served. Clutch size was pretty large this time, 19 good eggs, with one out of the 19, showing a tale-tail red ring of a dead embryo, so final count more than likely, 18, with one slug. She's a pretty nice looking girl, and this being her first clutch, it's nice to see.
