eggs, eggs and more eggs

I was bored this morning so I thought I would do a bit of digging. First was the S. sthenodactylus cage, I found 7 eggs. Next came the T. fasciasta cage and 3 more. Next, the C. brevis tank, which came up empty (I figured that because they are pretty young yet.) Last in line was the P. pictus tank. I got this pair as very young geckos (too young to sex) at the end of July. To my surprise I found an egg in early December. I say to my surprise because I didn't think they would be old enough yet. Well, you can add to my surprise as I dug up 7 more of them today. The only bad thing is that out of the 17 eggs I found today only 2 of them (from the S. sthenodactylus) were actually in the laying box. Two of the T. fasciata eggs were laying in the open next to the box but all the rest were scattered throughout the cages. Normally I don't worry about the S. sthenodactylus because I know they can hatch out in the cage and the adults won't bother them, but I don't know if this is the case with the other two. Besides, with the P. pictus at least, I am sure that as prolific as they are it wouldn't be long before they would be digging them up. In fact I'm pretty sure now that's why I found the first one in December. She dug it up and exposed part of it while digging to lay another clutch.

Oh yeah, and when I checked on my first attempt at cricket breeding I found about a billion pinheads swarming all over the deli cups.

Now if the Eagles and Ravens can win today I can consider it a very successful Sunday
