How has your egg season?

emysbreeder Jul 08, 2013 07:29 PM

I just came in from harvisting some emys emys eggs. i have one more to go. Some phayrei layed earlyer before the flood and have hatched out. The rest will be a month or so later than normal because of a huge flood that came in the middle of nest building. Most of them rebuilt and layed but I did Oxy one who would not stop paceing. I wasnt sure what was going to happen after the nests were destroyed. It was intresting that they went back to the same spot where the first nest was,even though there was no sent to go by as it had been washed away. Seems as though they have "cognative image recall" Whats your egg story this year. Reporting on the Mountains in Florida Vic Morgan

Hey Vic, things are going great here in Idaho as well. We have had several Pyxis a arachnoides and to date have two Pyxis a oblonga eggs!! This will be the year for the F2 P a oblonga!!!!

That is great. F2 is defying destiny. Get yourself a beer on me. How long or what weight do the f1's have to be to produce a viable clutch? Do their heads stay yellow, they sure have a lot of yellow, very nice. Vic

Thanks Vic!! Both females that have laid so far are right at 4 inches SCL and weigh around 250g. Time will tell if either are viable. Fingers are crossed!! Will you be at Daytona? Making my first trip this year!!! I am very excited!!
