Overview
Decided to try a different boy with Mercury this season and went with Zippy my anery male. She mated with him 2 times I believe Feb 14 and 28. She's most diffidently is full of eggs and shed her skin on 4-10-15 which means in the next 3-4 days she should probably be laying eggs for me. I've counted at least 20 egg pearls in her belly :) I know she will lay a awesome clutch for me!

Shed in one piece. This is her pre-lay shed.   Pre-Lay Shed 4/10/2015
Laid her eggs starting around 4:30am in the morning however, when I got home from work at 6pm she was not finished with laying them :( I can still feel about 5 large bumps and so I am now concerned for her well being. She only laid one more after I took the larger group of eggs from her after work.   Laid Eggs 4/17/2015
Babies started pip on June 10 and to emerge from eggs. on June 11-12 :) First clutch hatching earlier than I expected by 7 days . These gals/guys are ready to come out early. :)   Eggs Hatched 6/10/2015
Mercury is laying slugs for her second clutch and she is doing so randomly. She started laying them in her bedding on the 8 or 9 of June and still laying them throughout either in her lay box or out in her enclosure. :(   Comments 6/12/2015
