Cameron Highland eggs - Silver eyed gravid

Since I brought the Cameron Highlands pair back from Malaysia in April, she laid only one clutch (the one she was gravid with when she came in), and she never got gravid again (or she re-absorbed because I thought she was for a few weeks). Her first clutch hatched mid-August with only one of the eggs reaching full development. Three weeks after the first egg hatched I opened the second to find that the embryo had stopped development at around 1 month of incubation. The good thing is that both eggs were fertile, and the one that hatched was huge! 1.8g.

I paired her up again with a collected male for one week mid-August just after her egg hatched. One month later could witness that she was gravid, and yesterday she laid a pair of eggs. I'm crossing my fingers that both of these hatch out. I'm imagining that travel stress led to a bad lay originally, but who knows.

Another note, I'm very happy to see that my silver eye is gravid. I paired her up a few weeks ago and I'm seeing very advanced development.. we'll see how the timing works out because she might actually be gravid from the wild if she lays soon.

Looks like it's a race between you and Shane as to which one of us produces cb Silver Eyeds first. My silver eyed female is a bit too small yet and I wanted to give her some time to get truly well acclimated before attempting breeding as well.

Good luck with both the new highlands eggs and the silver eyed.
