Finally, finally, het ghost hondo eggs!!

[vanderkm]

from this pair



this morning she had her clutch completed (I never get to see them lay - bad timing!)



nine eggs, no slugs - so now I am just hoping these are really fertile.

The male was a real gamble - had been tried a couple times before with no luck, so I got him as a non-breeder. I hoped he was just young - and he certainly was willing to breed this spring. I wasn't able to check sperm plugs at the time of breeding, but at least I have eggs (will likley candle in a week or so).

Now the next waiting period begins!
