So, Tilly laid her first clutch this past Friday afternoon. It wasn't expected, but I was prepared anyhow.

The pair is a bold jungle x snow typhoon.

I tried candling the eggs. They look infertile, but I could be wrong, so here's a couple pictures for a second opinion.

Egg TJ020516A:

They are now on vermiculite in the incubator, the Eco earth was when I had just taken them out of the laybox.

Congrats! I don't see any pink either, but everyone always says 'incubate unless they rot'. Good luck!

So it's starting to look like one egg might be fertile. A second clutch was laid today. Unfortunately, I don't know who the mother is, as there are three females in the tank, Boo a snow get rainwater, Aurora a emerine enigma het cyclone, and Tilly a bold jungle. But the father is the snow typhoon, Jasper. I suppose when they hatch, I'll find out.

One egg looks fertile, the other not so much.

I thought it was too soon for Tilly to lay a second clutch, what do you guys think?

Hard to tell. I've had eggs that didn't candle with anything hatch out healthy babies. Just incubate till they hatch or stink and try not to worry about it.

I am planning on incubating til they hatch or stink. I have the temp set at 86, and am hoping for a mid of males and females. I already have a wait list for babies.

Do you think the second clutch is from the same mom, just over a week apart?

With those genetics, there will be quite a few cases where you won't be able to tell which female was the mother. One of the drawbacks to breeding in a harem setup.

I know there is a chance I won't be able to figure it out. But I know the mother is either the snow het rainwater or the bold jungle. So if it's a snow or rainwater, it's definitely boo. If it's a normal, I won't be able to tell.

Here's an update, I now have quite a few eggs. One of the eggs from the very first clutch developed a large "bubble" on the side which eventually split. I ended up feeding the egg to a young tegu at work. I am getting impatient waiting for eggs to hatch.

Also got a young female emerine enigma who just laid a pair of eggs despite not being exposed to my male and only being 35g. I'm worried about her, but she's eating and pooping still. Just trying to dead her as much as she could want. I am currently incubating her eggs as well.

The pet store I work at is willing to buy any hatchlings I have so at least I can easily move them out.


Here are the eggs:

Jasper, my male:

Boo:

Tilly:

Aurora:
