My Burmese Stars usually lay in winter. For some reason they decided to lay in summer this year too. I'm not going to complain!
For those who don't know, this species is functionally extinct. They are not "endangered". They are EXTINCT in the wild. What we breed in captivity is all that is left of this species. Lucky for the species, they are super hardy, easy to raise and care for, absolutely gorgeous, and super friendly and outgoing. They are an ideal species for a pet. They don't get huge, they are not destructive, they have no special diet requirements... These traits should ensure their survival for a long time to come.
I didn't know if eggs laid in hot weather would hatch or not. Now I know:
These are two different clutches from two different females. They started pipping last night. More pic to come!
