So then the long wait for the shed.....and then on Day 24 after that all-important shed, I found this after work....

And then, as always, after a big ordeal trying to get the giant-*** female away from the things, I got to count them (18)...

And now they'll sit for 55 days and hopefully some cool little guys will come out.

And there's more on the way........holy moly. I hope I didn't jinx anything. Cheers.

Thanks man. Everything's a little late this year, but that's what a mild winter will do. Oh well. Man, change your avatar!! Those albino Bci's are way way way too tempting me!!! Grrr....

Talked with Helena today. Looks like we're a go man. I'm pumped. Hope you are too bud.

Talk to you soon, and thanks for the kind words.

:D

Its not too bad Zoe. I just put them in the incubator and don't bother with them for 50 days. Then I stress a little the last week of incubation. But there's zero point in me thinking or stressing about them now.

Plus there's sooooo many more eggs and stuff on the way, I don't have time to stop and smell the flowers. Uggh.

Thanks for the nice words, take it easy and make sure to post pics of your hatchlings in a couple weeks!!
