Always when your not prepared

Tonight i came home and proceeded to do my usual rounds. when i checked on my Childreni i noticed the female was sitting higher in her coils then usual. my first thoughts/hopes were right, she had laid a clutch (her very first) of what appears to be 8 healthy/fertile eggs. the thing that caught me off guard and thus left me not so prepared, hence the mad run around to get the old incubator running was despite dreaming of her being gravid and showing some signs ie belly up etc. she stopped displaying these signs all together, even to the point of eating again and climbing on the perch that is in the cage. so seeing this i had pretty much given up hope of getting any eggs from anything this season.so as you all could probably guess i am a little suprised, but very happy at the same time. here are (if they work) a couple of pics. now the hard part, the waiting......

Yay! I've just my little girl coiled around 12 eggs, her second clutch.... Looks like I'll be inundated with tiny Liasis maculosa in about 6 weeks!

I'm using vermiculite for incubation though...
