After a HORRIBLE season.....

Luke9815 Jul 26, 2005 07:11 PM

It was nice to FINALLY have something hatch...

I've had a total 4 clutches with 23 eggs...10 being slugs and 9 going bad in the incubator...it was nice to see these hatch out yesterday...looks like all females too. I had only one clutch last year but got more babies out of that than I did this season!....Oh well...you have to take the good with the bad and for sure nothing is certain until babies are OUT...

I've got one more lonley egg that should hatch around Daytona...
I'll get some post shed pics once they shed...

LOL...Just busting your chops man!! Least they are both females bro...And it's not like you don't have some nice stuff coming in!! But it does suck a lil' having to pay for it when there was a possibility of trading...That's the way the cookie crumbles..

I bred 8 females, got 3 clutches with 16 total eggs of which 5 were slugs. 4 eggs so far gone bad, 3 eggs left in the incubator which are looking worse every day. So far I've had 4 babies hatch that are 50% poss het ghosts. Of course the ratio is 3.1 so I don't want to hear anymore complaining out of YOU buddy.

Hey...I didn't say someone else didn't have it worse than me...I was just a little discouraged...as I'm sure you are as well.....
Sorry about your luck as well....
