Day 17 Candling the Eggs...

I decided to Candle the eggs and see if i would be able to see some movements... 5 out of 6 eggs look fertile while 1 is lighting up like a lamp with no signs of veins. I cant make out the red shadow in the egg. I'm trying to be hopefully but i have already been told that it maybe nothing at all. So until the egg rots and smells, i will throw it out... Got to have HOPE, and you got to have FAITH. So i made alil video to get an idea of what I see every morning...Enjoy.

2010 Eggs !

I have been so busy lately that sometimes it feel impossible to keep up with everything... but i try. Since January this year i have been pairing my Pastel female with only my Cinnamon male...Yes, i have been daydreaming about Pewters is the reason i didn't want to introduce another male with her... At 1st i read all her signs wrong, according to date wise... Went on vacation in May and was expecting eggs for when i came back but all i got from her was a freshly shed-ed scales which put a Grey cloud over my breeding season this year, epically them being the only pairing for me. something told me that she had to be gravid. 1 she wasn't eating, 2 she wasn't losing any weight and 3 she started to reject the male so i had some thought that it maybe possible ! within a few weeks i seen the spine sign which let me know that she is gravid and just counting down the days...

Just like last year, as soon as i woke up i check on her and to see her coiled is ALWAYS the best thing to see 1st thing in the morning... After i got her coil off the eggs, there they lay 6 fertile eggs waiting to be put into the incubator... All 6 weighting at 612g, 1 smaller than the rest and 1 bigger than the rest... so 60day count down has started and i am extremely excited to see what will pip out in 50-60days...

2010 Breeding Pair....

I have been MIA for a lil while now, been so busy with work with my crazy time schedules and I have also been Lazy... Last year has been extremely good to me in breeding, I came out with 2 clutches of a total of 12 eggs that successfully hatched out and was able to get 10 of them to great new homes... so that mean its that time this year to do it all again...! I can only do one pair due to space right now, the two I have chosen is my Female Pastel SunShyne x Male Cinnamon Brownie. So far so good, for a month now they have been locking for a whole day or two so I'm looking forward in seeing some fertile eggs in the near future...

Expecting #2 ?!

I have been so busy these past couple of months with work & taking care of the snakes... My mind & attention was all on Ginger in figuring out if she was going to lay eggs or not, and she has. Now, that im back to my regular routine...SunShyne is looking alil different then regular. SunShyne has been off feeding for 2 months and her mid-section is firm and doesn't sink in like it usually does when i hold her. I would like to know when she is going to lay but i can't remember if she had her pre-lay shed or if its coming... i really hope its coming because i'm going on vacation for a week in June and really don't want her laying then... oh boy... Took a couple pics of the beautiful SunShyne...
