Baby thrush?
oh well you've blown it then
I love their markings... Beautiful. I hope the other two eggs surface soon. I guess it was the super-sized one that caused all the trouble?She hasn't passed the other two eggs as of yet. I am going to let her rest over the weekend before resuming treatment. Her mate is beside himself, I've never seen anything like it. He is swimming underneath her and lifting her to the surface constantly. She's at least eating again and devoured a couple of crabs earlier.
My yellow blotched map turtles nested during all this and I haven't had a chance to put them in the incubator. This is what they look like:
Yes you were definitely lucky... I had to sing 'postman Pat and Ihis black n white cat' on a daily basis
vapable (UK but ship all over) have 6% off their own concentrates etc with BIRTHDAY6 plus 10% off everything with SUMMER10 and they're stackable. free draw for an aegis solo this weekend if over £20 is spent also.
VG, PG, some concentrates and other gubbins gotten. done for the month...except for that side piece clone...

Good morning shiners! Have those replacement coils from MFS landing today (I think, it's at the right distro station, but it's Saturday, and I hope they still have enough energy from a long week to still get it to my local PO ). Otherwise just a bit f tinkering and rewicking on today's schedule.
Beautiful colors! Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think that looks like grumpy turtle?

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a relaxing day.
No new shinies due until Monday for me. And once again the weather here is cloudy and horribly humid. Hope it rains later.

Good morning to all the lovers of shiny! My doggystyles should be here on Monday. This was my first order ever from Fasttech. I am totally loving DIYing
If I were to leave the state of Florida I can keep the group, but I cannot sell any babies or the parents themselves. If I were to move to Alabama though I would have to sell them because you are not allowed possession there.

It's hard to say, I've seen larger eggs out of some of my other females. It is Marley's first year breeding and the first clutch is usually not viable. If I had a choice I would not breed her again, but at this point I don't. Once they are bred they can retain sperm for up to 10 years. This means she doesn't even need a male around next year.
That's interesting...I suppose in their traditional habitat there is a pretty big chance that they could swim around for years and still not bump into a male or vice versa....that way one chance meeting results in lots of offspring thereby perpetuating the species.....or something like that
Do you think that she will always be problematic based on this clutch or is it her behaviour or something? I'm hoping that the other 2 come out and come out viable too...fingers crossed.

It's hard to say if she'll have issues in the future. I was in contact with the author of Diamondback Terrapin: Gems of the Wild and he told me this is fairly common. I've been breeding for almost 27 years and this is the first time I've experienced it. In the x-rays we were able to measure her birth canal and there was nothing structurally wrong, so I am thinking her contractions were not strong enough to get the eggs rolling sort of speak. There is a high probability that she will produce one or two more clutches before this season is over... I really hope not.
A little GMO and there will be little need for men, just a some breeding stock. I suddenly want to pull my head into a shell.
