Nice - this made me chuckle!

As usual, some changes in the original plans. This time due to a request from the reptile shop that took most of my babies last year. A preorder on everything I produce!
Annie locked twice with Pete so far and once with Bonanza.
Lil has maybe locked with Joe, definately with Bonanza.
Belle and Kate have locked with Lola. Christmas hets sold so well last year and the shop owner loved the ones he kept for himself! I'd told him they looked much better and brighter than 'just normals' but until he saw for himself he hadn't believed me.
Faith and billy locked twice.
Silk and Billy locked once.
My hypo upper keys pair (poss het cinders) Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton locked

Annie's looking nice and fat and is going into blue........layboxes set up. I've got a new heating cable for the incubator so I should have time to tinker with the settings before any clutches are laid and my first batch of tiny mousicles has arrived.

 

[diamondlil]

EGGS! Cattle kate is busy in her laybox. a quick peek showed 14 or so plump white eggs.

 

[SarahP]

Exciting! Congrats!

 

[diamondlil]

19 good eggs, a healthy but grumpy Kate, all's good. Even better, Annie is laying tonight!

 

[Tom Tuttle]

Congrats on the eggs Janine!!!:dancer:

 

[DragonsDenSerpents]

Congrats, Janine! Kate looks great!

 

[diamondlil]

20 lovely eggs from a very deflated Annie. She's so skinny I'll get her a small mouse as soon as the petshop is open

 

[diamondlil]

Hurrah! Found a small adult mouse lurking in the freezer. Thawed, blow-dried and fluffed, and disappearing inside Annie. Kate has literally gone blue straight away, and she's retained better condition than Annie, so I'm not so concerned about getting a post-lay meal into her.

 

[MotleyMedusa7]

congrats on all the good looking eggs

 

[diamondlil]

:cheers: 16 plump eggs from Faith today! :cheers: Every clutch is precious, but I'd be lying if I didn't say this is the most important one for me. If luck finally is on my side I'll find out what Christmas Bloods look like. And as far as I know, I'll get naming rights on a new morph!

How exciting Janine! I can't wait to see the pippies when they hatch.

That's one gene I have in my collection but haven't paired with anything yet, so I'm actually holding my breath with you to see what this gene looks like when combined with other morphs.

You have Christmas hypos? The only combo I can remember seeing anyone produce before was anery/christmas, that didn't really float my boat as showing much difference visually.

19 lovely eggs from Sundance!

nice looking clutches!! cograts and keep us informed!

 

[diamondlil]

Thanks. I'm highly suspicious that 'Silk' has turned out to be a boy after all. I never witnessed a hook-up, there was all that wrestling going on, and of course 'she' hasn't got any bigger at all.
Better news, Diamond Lil and Belle Starr are huge and in their layboxes, Dolly Parton isn't huge but is hopefully in prelay shed now. All the eggs in the 4 clutches so far are fertile with veins showing.

 

[diamondlil]

10 eggs from Belle Starr this morning. Lil is HUGE and going into what must surely be her prelay shed

 

[diamondlil]

15 eggs from Lil! :dancer:
