Help needed urgent http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/blogs/guy-parker/215-royal-python-eggs-help-needed.html Sat, 17 May 2008 17:45:38 GMT I came home from work on Wednesday night to find that my female ball python had laid 7 eggs, she was coiled around 6 of them and had pushed 1 out, the “slug” Any way this is my first clutch I have since removed the eggs into an incubator, My question is. The eggs are laid white in colour and soft to the touch, they are slowly starting to change in colour to a darker pearl colour but are still soft. At what point do the eggs harden or is this not the case, just a little advice would be greatly appreciated I came home from work on Wednesday night to find that my female ball python had laid 7 eggs, she was coiled around 6 of them and had pushed 1 out, the “slug”

Do I just post mad ramblings and see what happens...?!

Well Auriga is blued-up very nicely so will hopefully clear and then shed in the next week or so. Still having some humidity issues in the viv, but mostly seems to depend where I put the hygrometer unit. Closer to the bottom = higher humidity. Though the dial at the hot end says 70%. Go figure.... Still, Auriga seems happy buried in the moss at the hot end of the viv, under her log, and it gets sprayed daily. She also has a humid hide and a HUGE water bowl (otherwise known as a casserole dish) to swim round in if she so chooses....

I hope she'll have a good shed this time round as it was a bit patchy last time. LOL also remind me not to handle her straight after as she bit me last time, but in a nice thoughtful "hmmmmmmm what are you then?" way!!!

Have not found any more weird beetle-creatures doing the backstroke in her water bowl which is good. All substrate was nuked (again) and put back in so I can only assume it got in there another way. How bizarre.

Well this was exciting........ what next?! ]]> medusa0373 http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/blogs/medusa0373/200-oooh-what-s-then.html Ouachita Map Turtle For Sale http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/blogs/jack-t/198-ouachita-map-turtle-sale.html Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:40:08 GMT 2 year old ouachita map turtle for sale looking for £25 but will consider any other offers.
