Chihuahua Mtn king morning treat

I check my eggboxes twice every day and this is what I found today in one of my knoblochi's box this morning. This female was born 2005 in Sweden. I bought her from a friend when she was a few months old. She is now close to 3 years of age and this is of course her first eggs ever.

Very nice -- please be sure to show off the babies when you cross that bridge. Congratulations! By the way, how big is that female? She looks a bit small to me for some reason.

Yeah, she is rather small and she was mated unintentionally. She is a 2005 born and about 32 inches. I put her in with another specimen I bought as a female since I had to use her tank for another mating couple, but that other one turned out to be a male. I thought I had 2.3 but it's obviously 3.2 instead.

The unexpected 2004 male comes from Mattias Rechter in Germany and it's a third generation from Steve and Karen Osborne's stock. I would not breed such a light weight female intentionally. My other female is a 2004 born also bred in Germany, but she is twice the weight of the smaller one.
