The middle of the clump, 3 eggs nice and plump with veins. Totally amazing! But, the last time I rehydrated a clump, I got deformed hatchlings from it, so I'm cautiously hopeful. One live, viable hatchling from there would be wonderful....
 
they were only a day or two old right? was it the same scenario as before? very cool, :) so happy there is at least some hope there! can only imagine what they go through in a natural setting... would be kinda cool to see a time lapse video of... :) best of luck!

Thanks. I love when you finally see eggs slashed and bubbles blowing and wonder how a hatchling could possibly have fit inside the egg. At least 25 days before that stage for me yet though!
 
Still no eggs from Lil! She's massive, triangle shaped, swirling in her laybox......... and driving me crazy!
 
I have three of those Triangular shaped Swirlers here driving me nuts to,had the first head out of egg today as well so things are progressing sloooooowly !!! Hope all is good for you J9 and they lay soon.
 
Lil is laying! 15 good eggs and more coming.............

20 lovely big eggs from Lil. I thought she'd lay a bigger clutch, but these are such a good size I'm surprised she could fit them all in! No slugs, no eggs retained, phew! In 60 or so days I'll need sedating to stay calm..........
Only Dixie left to lay and she doesn't look at all gravid yet. Hopefully Dolly and Johnny have mated for a second clutch, none of the females lost enough weight to be worrying and they've all started eating. Lil will get her postlay mousie tonight

Faith's 3 remaining eggs are starting to dimple.......she doesn't look gravid but I've put a laybox in her viv in case of a double clutch.
 
Faith has shed and is in her laybox, fingers crossed. Day 60 for her 3 eggs, nothing happenig yet....Silk never laid at all, she must have just had big follicles and reabsorbed them? The dehydrated clutch are all shades of nasty, I don't expect 'em to hatch. As they don't smell yet I won't throw them away yet though
 
2 of Faiths eggs have collapsed and look funky, so only 1 good egg left for my shot at a Christmas diffused, not good odds! Kate and Sundance's clutches are on day 60, all looking good but no pipping yet......
 
I think Faith's egg is lost, it's darkened and looks slick, without hatching. I'm leaving it for now.
But..................:dancer::dancer::dancer::dancer::dancer::dancer: I have pips!
Sundance's babies are hatching, and I've got twins!
