Unfortunately we lost India to egg-binding. The holiday made it impossible to get her into surgery over the weekend and she wasn't able to hold on. We have two eggs that appear to be viable and are hopefully at least one will manage to hatch.
Zulu laid a beautiful clutch of around 20. We will get an actual count in a few days. Hoping this clutch will give us further insights into the genetic makeup of their grandparents, particularly the hypo-types involved.
There may also be evidence that Alpha and Nova may have mated. Of course that evidence just had to be a prolapsed hemipene...but fortunately the vet was able to remove the dead tissue and he seems to be doing fine now. He will be on antibiotics for the next two weeks and so long as we don't have any more eversions he will be able to get back to business.
