Thanks for looking.

Thanks folks!
She ended up producing 18 eggs altogether, a couple of which are definite "slugs", and there are a couple more which are questionable, even when trans-illuminated (candled).

Here's hoping for some healthy baby ridleyi.

Cheers!

Looking nice Simon! My Vietnamese Blue Beauty eggs are due to hatch in the next couple weeks or so & I can hardly wait. Good luck with your incubation. Mark I.

Thanks Mark!
Hopefully I'll have a better hatch-rate than I did with my Children's pythons, lol!
Good luck with your Blues. How many eggs did you get from her?

Thx Simon & the VBB laid 13 perfect eggs that look the same as the day they were laid except the top ones are just starting to indent now. They are at 9 weeks today so it could be anytime, WOO HOO! Good luck with your wait. If you are anything like me you'll be nearly crazy after 9 weeks. HATCH HATCH HATCH ALREADY!!! LOL Mark I.

Hi Simon & everyone else. First off WOO HOO!!!! I was reading the posts here again & couldn't help but to go look at my eggs. I'm glad I looked because about 1/2 of them have hatched! All 13 eggs looked perfect so I'm hoping for a 100% hatch rate. This is another first for me so I'm very happy about it. Look for a new thread coming soon with some Vietnamese Blue Beauty baby pics. Again WOO HOO! :bounce: Mark I.

Paul; Yes, We hope to be there. Assuming that I can get my vehicle back in travellin' condition!

Mark; Congratulations on the Blue Beauty babies. Hmm...9 weeks, eh? I wonder if the cavers will be similar? What temps did you incubate at?
