It’s only women that get confused with measurements because men lie about them

Everyone knows women can't count How many times has your hubby asked you how many new animals have you bought and you've replied "only two" ???

I always consult with hubby before I buy new animals I don't have to worry about sneaking them in, and he also helps a lot with paying for them for me I don't need to tell great big whoppas 
Nice one Dave

Apart from Steve's very valid observation earlier in this thread (and notwithstanding Jamie's "doctor" fantasy) there isn't actually any other necessary reason to pip eggs.
However, as pigmentation is the last biological process to take place, the earlier you pip them the more likely you are to think you have produced a Crystal / Super Phantom / BEL / Lesser Woma etc .... In another thread posted by Scott W ("Any Guesses") you will find a photo of an egg that I slit far too early.  Fortunately it survived and it turned out to be a Pastel Lesser Platinum. From the photo, however, it looks like it could be something very special (like a Crystal).  |
