My First Baby

[JoshD49]

Just got back from an east coast trip and came home to find this.


This is an Ambilobe that has been incubating with me since February. There is a second egg that should be any time now.

I received these from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla in February and want to say a special thank you to him for giving me the confidence to try these out. He has been with me every step of the way and now we are trying to get Merlin and Amelia to finally do the deed. I wanted to see if I would be able to handle a clutch so I decided to take these eggs and give it a try. Without Matt's help and teachings I don't know that I would be as ready as I am for this. Between Matt and this forum I have learned so much and now I am super exited and nervous to grow this little one up and see where the adventure takes me next.

Again thank you @Matt Vanilla Gorilla and @Teal Beauty for putting up with all my messages and text messages. Also thanks to all the other wonderful people who have helped me along the way on this forum.



One more for the cutest thing in the world.

Thanks
Josh

I swear it seems like they know to wait until no one is around to hatch out. Super cute.

Just curious...did you do a closet incubation? Or a warmer?

 

[JoshD49]

I used the exo terra incubator because summer has been so hot here (Southern California) I needed to have an incubator that could both heat and cool that would not cost me an arm and a leg.

 

[janjan20]

Oh ok cool! Did you have an expected hatch month?

 

[JoshD49]

Some time between September and November but its been warm so a little earlier makes sense.

Congratulations on that little cutie!

 

[Redman]

Bring on the fruit flies!

 

[JoshD49]

Thanks you so much @jannb! You have also always been there for me as well.

So happy for you! Thank you for your words of kindness and appreciation!

Congrats Josh! I know how excited you must be! Wishing your little additions fast growth and healthy appetites. It is too cute!

 

[JoshD49]

Thank you so much. I could not be happier save for it being my own pair's eggs but this process will surely prepare me for just that. haha BTW if anyone is looking for a pure Nosy Be female let me know. haha Merlin is either not into her or not into girls at all. I love him no matter what though.
