This waiting part is HARD!

Seeeee I was saying that! Once the eggs are out, looked good, and momma was safe I could relax after weeks of pairing and stressing and then wondering if she was even gravid, etc. etc.

Time is going by kinda fast for me now because I'm actually in the middle of a career change, I'm doing training to be a software developer andddd the eggs are due right when I'll be doing my final project lol.

Update on mama: This was a day before her third meal. Looking pretty good/recovered. Since she was a little overweight going into breeding season, I gotta make sure I dont actually get her back to the size lol

For the babies, I figured I'd be more excited for potential snows (1/4 chance), but I'm pretty excited to see how the amels turn out. I had originally got Bean has a reverse Okeetee, but got confused when the orange background color never really came in. Doing on research with the breeder and it looks like she comes from a crimson line. So mixed with the dad, I'm not sure if I'm going to get amels that look like her, or amels with more orange.

Bean looks like she's doing well. You've done a fine job of caring for her through and after her gestation.

Thank you! She's a pet first and foremost so it would kill me if anything happened to her.

3 week egg check, only thing to note is that I thought mold was forming on one of the eggs, the egg I noted with the purple dot, and the spot in question is right by the x, but when I candled the egg, it's see-through, so it's just weirdly un-calcified. At the same time, I'm not seeing very strong veins with that particular egg, so only time will tell.

Golly, it's already been three weeks? How the heck did that happen? Lol. They look good! I can't really see much detail but I've had and read of an occasional egg which developed a semi-transparent window such as you seem to be describing. Some continue normal development and hatched just fine. Some didn't. As you say, time will tell. Nice looking clutch at this point, though.

Here is a better shot of it, it just caught me off guard because it looks different from the other egg just below it with an uncalcified spot.

I've been checking the eggs twice a week, Thursdays (so every week milestone) and then every Sunday. I'm in and out, the temp only drops about 1.5 degrees and back to normal within 15 minutes. I keep trying to tell myself, they won't look any different from the last time I've checked but I cant help myself lmao. I have to open the container at least once a week for air flow.

Alsoooooo the baby rack I ordered was originally only a 4 week timeframe, but when I ordered (about two weeks ago) they just changed it to "at least" 6 weeks x.x, so lets hope it gets here in time.

I was originally going to make the rack, when I was expecting like 10-15 eggs, but when she laid so many eggs, it was just "easier" to buy one.

Today during checking, I noticed some werid discoloration with some of the eggs. Is it mold you think?

Some discoloration on the eggs is normal. Mold will typically have a fuzzy look to it.
