Surprise Boot Keys Clutch!!

I guess I got more than I paid for! Scarlett was "ovulating" when she arrived, but it turns out she was actually gravid. When two of her sisters in two different homes laid clutches (one fertile, one infertile) I gave her a lay box. She was horrified by the "torture chamber" and refused to use it. But then she shed. I fed her once or twice more, on schedule, and then a couple days ago the lay box became appealing. I checked today when I got home and lookee lookee!!

I'd heard her sister's eggs were small, but these looked about like I'd expect. (The yellowness is from the halogen light).

I'm actually pleased that the eggs look great- I'd hate to have her go through all that for slugs. So the eggs are in the incubator, with what remains of Cherry's clutch (one of which dented today- in a good way, I hope!!) There are five and all look fertile. (Her mom was laying clutches of 8 or 9, at her mature age).

Here's the little mommy- 20 grams lighter but in excellent condition! No retained eggs. I'm going to feed her tomorrow, so she doesn't get too far off from her 5-day group, which feeds on Sunday.
