white gold!

[Pyror]

My little painted just dropped her first clutch of eggs this arvo. I am completely amazed at the size of them compared to her! The eggs are about the size of jelly beans and she's probably only 5 - 6cm SVL. Now that musta hurt!

Anyways her first clutch comprised of 2 eggs, which is pretty much what i expected. Heres a pic just before they went into the eskybator

Shoulda mentioned that. They were white until she buried them..

Maybe its red gold then?

 

[herptrader]

Or "Gold Gold" which could probably be abrieviated to just "Gold" ;-)

Perhaps those Albino Olives should be described as "White Gold" ;-) ;-)

Congrats.
Gotta b happy about that

Ya keepin the 1st clutch.
hard to sell the 1st lot once they hatch.

...and 39 days later, an unexpecting me went to check on the eggs, only to find them completely deflated, brown and empty. And these 2 guys (or gals) were running around instead.

They hatched on boxing day. I am very happy with my first successful incubation.

I'm hoping they're both femals so i can stick 'em back with mum and dad for a nice sized colony.

Snakes seems to be ok but is not good in lizards, they get deformities after a lot of inbreeding.

 

[angelrose]

those ones can...

Ive not had deformities till 5th or 6th generation... and its been minimal, what experience have others had?
