I'm quite sure this Blond doesn't think she is having fun

Woke up this morning to my Blond Pastel girl laying. So far 7 good eggs and 1 slug, but she does not look like she is done. The pairing was to a Super Mojave. Come on Blond pastaves! Clutch #10 for the year with 7 more balls, 1 blood, and 1 CA boa to go.

Nice! It looks like there is one more ready to come out.

Congrats!

Thanks!

Final count is 9 good eggs and 2 slugs.

Congrats, nice clutch!

Well the wife candled them and only one looks to have veins.

The others have spots that look like the embryo, but if they have veins they are really small. We will have to re-candle in a couple of days and see if veins develop. Generally no veins after laying has historically meant they are not good.

I still wonder scientifically which of the pair is responsible for that kind of thing. I mean for an egg to come out looking nice full and white it had to get fertilized by the male since the slugs are eggs that never got fertilized. On the same not if it got fertilized by the male, but never developed into a viable offspring why would the egg fully develop around it since it was not viable early on?

So many questions, so little time.

Great photo. Thanks for sharing. Plus not one normal.. Outstanding..

Weird. I hope it works out for you David!

Nice David! Hope you get some nice Pastaves in there!!!

No worries its cause the yolk hasnt set at the bottom and the placenta hasn't attached. Candle them tonight or tomorrow youll see veins.
