That's so exciting...it's to bad you can't post pics. How are the mom & dad reacting to you holding the babies?

The dad is mean so I make sure he is not in the box. Well if he was I would just push him out he may bit me but not toooo hard. The mom is sweet she puts up a fuss hoping I will not get her babies but when I do she dont do anything...LOL. Sometimes I put her out the box too so I dont have to worry about her flying out the box. She will stay out and as soon as I leave she is right back in. Everything going well so for =)

They must be so amazing...I can't wait... that is if ours hatch. I have noticed that the color of 2 of the eggs seems to be changing from a darker pink to a lighter almost translucent looking pink. Is this normal?

How old are your eggs. At a few days to a week old you can old them to a light and see the little blood lines...That means they are good and a baby is growing...

The oldest one is 10 days. the last egg was laid on saterday. I thought another was comming but I think it just looks that way for a few days because now her vent area looks smaller. I haven't really touched the eggs. I've held Sprouty and picked her off the eggs, but I'm nerves about touching the eggs. I'll hold one up to the light later and see. thanks.:D

How are them eggs doing? Have you put them too the light yet? If you do just do it for a few sec. dont hold them to the light for too long. But it is very cool to see. And the day before it it due to hatch if you put it to your ear you can hear the baby in the egg....SoOoOo cool =)

they will be 4 weeks this weekend. I was holding mine from day one. I didnt want to wait for the eyes to open and then start holding them cause then they would be scared.
