Nice work Dez! They are perfect. I have been waiting for this thread.I am happy to see "Dooley" is doing well for you...I like the name personally

Let me know if you want to trade a male for a male when they get a little older. I am going to be searching for another unrelated male to add to my group soon. I have a a group of young males now.

My carpet eggs have been really unpredictable. One clutch was laid in March and another was laid in May and both are hatching now... So one took 9 months and the other only 7.... I think it has a lot to do with the incubation temps.. We don't use control the temps to speed up the diapause . the eggs are incubated at a temp between 70- 79 for the duration.

I think if we did use diapause we would have a more predictable hatch date

That is funny that you named yours Dooley. That is what I was going to name mine that I got from Dooley! I decided to alter it slightly to Doogie
