Overview
I put Diamond and Kasper together again this afternoon and they mated sucessfully for around 23 mins. On Januarary 30,2012. Hopefully, this time Diamond will produce some eggs. I witnessed 5 total matings between Diamond and Kasper, the last one being on Feb. 19, 2012. She is in the process of the pre-lay sheding stage and should shed her skin in the next 7-10 days from now, then lay her eggs soon after that. Diamond layed a total of 16 eggs in her second clutch on May 9, 2012 but 6 are slugs and only 10 of them are fertile. Her first clutch 15 babies hatched one premature one with a kinked tail and 3 dead in egg. So a total of 18 eggs not including the one's I had to through away after she had layed them because they were bad from the very beginning. With mating Diamond to Kasper I got all ghosts and anery babies, however, some of them have very nice patterns which look like a zipper or zig zag pattern. Three or four of them have really nice looking patterns and another two to 4 of them came out with a little bit of a pattern on their backs. The rest of them came out with plain colors and with no pattern.

Copulation with Kasper once again, this is my last time for them to be put together for mating. I have not really noticed Diamond developing any eggs up to this point so giong to wait and see what happens and if she will lay any for me.

Diamond's eggs are close to the half way mark in the incubating process. They look pretty funky to me but I know they are fertile. They all have weird looking clear windows and also weird nobs at the top of them. I'm incubating at 84-85 degrees.
