I have some good and bad news to share this evening.
As I mentioned to a few of you, I lost the female Johnstonii about a month ago. She had really struggled from Day 1 coming in very gravid, dropping a bad clutch of eggs, recovered, and then turns out was gravid immediately thereafter from retained sperm.
To that point, when she went to lay this batch of eggs, she prolapsed on the last egg and I nor the vet could do much as she quickly began to show signs of internal bleeding from the strain.
She was a trooper, and will be missed there is no doubt.
Now the good news, she offered up 8 eggs before passing. The eggs have been incubating for 1 month now and I am very pleased with their appearance. The first batch it was clear pretty quickly that they were no good.
So here we are with about 2 months to go or so. Keep your fingers crossed!
