Here are Odin (Caramel Ghost Stripe het Amel) and Sunlight. She's either a Citrine het Stripe or a Xanthic Snow het Hypo, Stripe. I have hatched a fair few Xanthic Snows and I believe that Sunlight is a Citrine. Hopefully this season I'll find out.

Haha, I love how the male is looking at you all surprised and offended that you're taking a picture!

Right? He's all, "Privacy, PUH-LEEEZE!!" So I got that one shot and closed the bin.

I know that conventional wisdom says that one mating should be enough. I hope that's true for Sunlight. I'm afraid that's all she's going to get. Odin was going blue when they were successfully paired before. It took a while to get a lock then. The two times I've tried since, he just isn't willing. She's been doing her best, but he's pretty much ignoring her. So I guess he's deep blue and she's singing the blues.

Fingers crossed for you! Hopefully once will be enough. My only pairing this year would only breed twice. Female was ready to go, but my male was only vaguely interested. And then the last time I tried pairing them, my female was *not* having it anymore! (And of course my male was attracted to her frantic movements.)

Thanks for the crossed fingers. It's Sunlight's first season. She definitely has those slightly squishy sides that females get with follicles. Hoping once is enough for her, and I will cross my fingers that twice is enough for your girl!

Update: I was pretty sure after checking on Tulip last night before bed that she would lay during the night. This morning I awoke to find that she had..... one egg so far.

Cool, looking forward to seeing the rest of them!

Thanks, me too! I'm not bothering her, but I did try and take a cloudy peek through the sides of the bin and lay box. I can see that there are more eggs. Oh, and Esperanza has cleared a space at the end of her lay box and has that faraway look today.

I think I'll go work on a loaf of sourdough. Maybe I'll knead away some of the anxiousness....

Update: Nine hours after discovering Tulip’s first egg, I opened her bin to checked on her and offer her a drink which she declined. I didn’t squeal with delight, but I wanted to! I took a few fast pictures, closed the bin again. So far, counting the first egg which I removed this morning, I’ve counted sixteen beautiful eggs! She isn’t finished yet. I didn’t actually lift and palpate her, but I can clearly tell that she has more inside. Hurray, Tulip! Keep up the good work!
