E. g. guttata
Her name was Mary-9/17/05
As many of you may know, I have been waiting for my baby girl to lay her eggs for some time. I expected eggs about two months ago, and nature (or the male, whichever you prefer) decided to decieve me, so I had to place the male back with the female AGAIN! Now, two months later, nature has a nasty surprize for me. I go into my room after work today to check on my female, knowing that she should be laying any day now, and she is burried in her new substrate. LUCKILY this substrate is somewhat moist underneath, because this female has just laid 33 VIABLE eggs, NO slugs! Needless to say, I wasn't exactly looking for the eggs (they were hidden under her substrate and water bowl) and I missed them. So I went to pulll her out for excersize about 3 hours later, and she is REALLY pissy with me. I move the water bowl and lo and behold, I notice 4 of the eggs. I currently do not have pictures of the culprits, but it looks like I got there in time, and I will be candeling them, recounting them, and taking pics of them tomorrw to share with you all. These things are no bigger than my thumb from tip to the first knuckle! I currently have her in with a hopper right now, hoping that she'll eat. Se went from about 535g while holding eggs a week ago to almost 125g after just laying them. I'm going to make her nice and comfy for the next month or so, while I try to figure out what to do with all these little white orbs of joy!
