Well she has finally got around to dropping her eggs 5 good eggs, no slugs, weighing 515g making them 103g each, they all look pink and she was very well behaved when I took her off apart from one strike Now the long wait again
I've used Scott's 1 to 8 ratio by volume for the eggs and sat them on top of a thin layer of dry vermiculite, they are in a 9L RUB with clingfilm over the top before I put the lid on. The bator (that I built) is sitting perfectly stable at precisely 88f with no fluctuation between top, middle or bottom, there is a hovabator fan in the very top to circulate air and keep the ambient temp stable throughout. Now just have to cross my fingers

I'm hoping the pastel did the job, and it was mostly him that was put to her, the YB only had one introduction so I think the law of averages it should be the pastel All female pastel het ghost would be nice _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

I know what you mean Rad, then you end up waiting another 60 days after they do finally drop _________________ www.draco2.co.uk
