My female croc is at it again and this egg has me thinking maybe my new female I bought is really a small male. Its snout is starting to yellow which is some say is a male characteristic.
This eggs was on the surface but looks pretty decent and is nicely shelled. She appeared to be laying the rest when I checked on tonight. Looks to be about a foot or more into the ground so maybe I will get lucky.

p.s if anyone knows anything about corn snakes could you please tell me what a starburst breed to a caramel butter het bloodred might produce. Had 15 of those also today

The count apoars to be 6. Three good and three bad it appears. I may do a little more digging but I think 6 is all there is.

You like that SIM container pic right :)
I ended up with 7 eggs total. Found a hidden one and had tristis eggs. Now if I can get my conda hognose to lock up to my female then I will be one happy container. Make any larger egg boxes yet Gregg.

Awesome and a huge congrats again.

My hogs did not start locking up until mid April. Seems to be the norm no matter how early you pull them from brumation. Hogs are like monitors without legs.

And yes, we do have a larger box that would be perfect for those croc eggs. We have had the larger ones available since last years Daytona show.

I think the female is finally ovulating so maybe he will get with it.
What are the dimensions of the larger egg box? May have to check to make sure it could fit into the incubator shelves.
