Estimating 66 days for incubation, the first clutches will begin hatching on July 10th. By August 10th, I should have around 4,000 babies hatched out, with the remaining 900 coming out a couple days later. I still have one female I'm waiting on to drop her eggs.
Everytime I think about it, I want to jump in the Jeep and drive off into the sunset to escape...... There can definitely be too much of a good thing sometimes.
I have given all the girls strict instructions, with dark threats, to NOT double clutch this year!
As for the Hypo Blood Reds, this was a pretty bad year for them. Except for some het animals, most of the clutches were a pretty poor showing. If I have any luck at all, the het animals will produce what I need to fill the orders I already have. But I am not accepting any more orders for them, and only those people now on the deposited list are likely to get some this year.
Man, what a let down that was...............
