Eggs are here!

Kora laid 31 eggs tonight. It was perfect timing....today I just ran to get a spare incubator because after ordering THREE different Reptibators, they were all out of stock online. Finally I ordered one from LLLReptile.com (great customer service, highly recommend them!) and it's on it's way. So in the meantime I'm using this incubator made for chicken eggs....hopefully all will go well.

Out of the 31, only about 5 look fertile, which I expected since this is her very first clutch. Five seems like a nice number to start out with...much less overwhelming than 31! They're currently incubating at about 83 degrees and should take anywhere from 60+ days to hatch. I'm already anxiously checking them every few minutes to make sure everything is just right! Here are some pics of the exhausted momma laying....and the cute teeny little "egg-lets" LOL.

Xrays!

I took some xrays on Kora today at work! She was a big hit (okay, not really, everyone actually thought she was creepy and spikey and didn't want her anywhere near them....we're used to just cats and dogs at our hospital LOL) Looks like she's got a belly full of eggs! One of the vets said they don't look fully calcified yet so she probably has another week or so to go before she lays.
