Second clutch....blech

Well my snow female who already laid a first clutch of 25 fertile eggs + 3 slugs has now laid her second clutch which turned out not that great.....5 possible fertile eggs, and 6 or so slugs. One of the slugs had actually burst all over the other slugs and good eggs, and it was a MESS. yuck.

Anyways here is a pic of the "fertile" ones next to their brother and sisters who are on day 55. I believe Tim Cranwill guessed this first clutch would hatch on day 56 when I mentioned what temps I am incubating at. So he might just be right!!! Anyways the ones I can see red viens in are circled in red, the ones circeled in black are pretty iffy and I am sure 2 out of 3 at least are slugs but it doesn't hurt to hope!

So, basically she has put out 30 fertile eggs in total this season, with about 10 slugs. Not bad. I think next year this girl will be laying even larger clutches, well at least you hope so eh Matt_K?
