Another clutch of eggs this morning

John Q May 21, 2005 10:32 AM

My new racks were assembled last weekend but since I'm still making some fine adjustments to the temps I have not moved some of my balls into their new home. I didn't think it was a good idea to move gravid females so I kept this one in the old rack.
Two to a box is a bit crowded but it's never been a problem with adults. This morning the larger girl gave me a clutch of 8 or 9. I haven't moved the eggs yet so I can't tell for sure but it's at least 8 eggs. The smaller female gave me a clutch of 7 on 4/24. I thought it made for a good shot to show that both females are incubating the clutch. They are both acting a little defensive when I open the box. As far as the smaller female is concerned, these are her eggs. I took hers away back on 4/24.
