Well, all but two of the eggs are doing fine. One seems to be completely bad, while the other seems to have some veins in there but is wilting away and looks nasty. I've left both in there and have just been very good about wiping off the mold every day. All the other eggs have nice healthy veins in them and seem to be growing.
On another note, two things have happened to me this week that have made me question my snake keeping skills.
Onyx, the mother of aforementioned eggs had lungworm and some other kind of bacteria (still waiting on the culture). So she is now under strict quarantine and is to be given meds weekly, and a soapy bath every day. She is very weak and lethargic still, but the vet said she responded well to the meds he gave her. She is due to go back for another round of Ivormectin in two weeks.
Then, when I was taking out everyones water dishes and cleaning them, I noticed Donatello's cage was unnaturally quiet. Usually when I open up the cage she comes out to investigate....this time, nothing. So I dug around in her cage and looked in all her hides.......she has escaped.
So needless to say, I freaked out. Luckily there weren't any obvious signs that my cat got to her, but I live in a parked Camper Trailer (the kind that is semi-permanent so it has regular sized appliances but still teeny tiny), and it's kind of falling apart. I tore up the house looking for her, looked inside EVERYTHING, including my chair, my futon, and my bed....but nothing. Michelangelo seems on edge too, so that points to even more of a sign that she is in here somewhere.
So now I have a bait mouse sitting by one of the air vents in hopes of attracting her to come out.
She was my very first snake, so needless to say....I'm very very upset about it.
