Blackhead Eggs For Lunch!!

snakesunlimited1 Apr 15, 2010 04:39 PM

So I have been thinking she was about to lay for about 2 weeks and I almost called my vet last night to see how long I should give her before taking her in for surgery... yeah it was like that. So when I came home for lunch to check on her like I have every day and night for the last two weeks I see this.


So there is no chance of me working a full day at that point, back to work for a couple hours to cover the already scheduled work and back home to see this

7 fat and healthy looking eggs so far with one more in her at least and I am loving it!!!!!

I may not be rolling in breeding size females like some guys but I am probably even more pumped when I get eggs because of it!!! This girl and her brother are from Split Rock Reptiles out of their "Coral Hypo" line and are the niece and nephew to the killer male that Derek just picked up. They should hatch out (if I can get them that far... ?? ) some killer KILLER reds.

Now for 60+ days of egg sitting and checking daily, ohhh the stress and rewards of blackheads, wouldn't want it any other way!!!!

Sweet, post some pics of the clutch and the parents!! How many laid, how many made it?? It looks like I am losing one here real soon. Got one that has a wet area and keeps sweating water. Still has veins but I expect to have it get stinky real soon.
