Congrats, are you going to be accepting trades?

I'm not counting my eggs before they hatch. :mrgreen:

 

[hoosier]

YAY!!! CONGRATS!!!

 

[PuffDragon]

Hypothetically if something were to hatch....would you accept any trades? LOL

No, I don't want your cats! :mrgreen:

It would be doubtful, but never say never! We're getting kind of crowded here. I have to leave room downstairs for a few snakes that will end up being 6ft to 8ft long.

It's possible if we get a high white hatchling we might keep one (or 2).

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I'll be waiting for my shipment of eggs in the mail any day now right? Huge congrats on the eggs! I hope they all hatch for you and we can all drool over them To bad about those 4 eggs that got a bit beat up, hopefully they still hatch for you though

Good Luck!

[agallegos37]

[Azaleah]

OMG how exciting!!! I can't wait to see if you get some babies!

 

[tegu1982]

[Kazzy]

*claps* Yay!!!

 

[dorton]

Very cool, congrats on the eggs.

 

[DaveDragon]

We're officially down to 25 eggs. The 4 that didn't look good when I first found them are toast.

But the other 25 look great!!!

54 days to go!!!!

 

[MMRR - jif]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the remaining 25 eggs! How's mom doing? Has she settled down yet?

 

[VARNYARD]

From talking to Dave on the phone the others sound like they are doing great. However, Dave is finding out how that dang waiting game goes, it is no fun waiting 58-62 days for them to hatch. It is kinda like a 7 year old waiting on Christmas, it seems like it takes forever.

No. She's moody. But she always has been, she's just worse now. If I even get the "Chasing her tail" video edited and posted you'll see her at the most extreme she's been, chasing our 9 year old son biting at his feet.

It's not too bad. I've got plenty of other things to do to keep me busy. Then there's this work thing that takes up way too much of my free time! I'm guessing the last week or 2 are going to be brutal!!!!
