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.

Up to 10 years? Your guy turtles must get so frustrated.

LOL you'd think...

You'd be surprised at the males tenacity. Since waking out of hibernation in February all I ever see the males do is mate. If I go out there right now I can guarantee each tank has a male getting it on... They pretty much won't stop till October, just in time to get fattened up for hibernation again. The females will get so tired of it that they'll actually attack the male. It's why I usually separate around August.

Good news my Flash-e-vapor clone has finally shipped from fasttech today. Other two parcels are in Beijing so all is going to plan so far. Not that I'm watching the progress of these deliveries of course, just taking a cursory glance every 30 minutes. Guess I should get out more. :D

The wayward parcel is still somewhere in China and has been due a return to FT since the 24th but no update info at all. Think it might be time to demand a refund because this is a joke.

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:

Will she be okay?

@Fidola13 after our blissful zen moments of last evening I thought the wise path of the day to be old school with a twist of the new. The Creek. There everything is already perfect.

Only minutes in I have reached mushin no shin and it is truly a heavenly state. I found my fudoshin.

I now see more clearly the space between things. As slow and deliberate was the proper course.

And I wholly appreciate master @Zazie offering the proper correction last night. :nun: Ohmmm

Should throw a build on that Russian MTL rig if I can find some wire.

Russian = Winner!!!! :D Get that bad boy going. ;)

I don't have the Fusion but I do have a couple Russian 91% v2's in my stash. Your post got me thinking of pulling one out and setting it up...been a long time. However I always have a KFL+ in rotation...my first true lovely vape. :thumb:
She will never be retired.
Cheers...
