Okay so i checked the incubator, and.... there is mold... kinda growing on the substright soooooo i changed it out and placed them back on new substraight, of the two eggs penelope laid one has turned off yellow a week or more ago and today i have finally gave up on it :( seeing as it had a rather large dent the went the length of the egg, and it had a wierd very small fungus looking dots on it, BUT since i was in their i candeled the other much nicer looking egg that is still egg shell colored and guesss what???? IVE GOT VIENS :) so at this point penelopes second egg is still viable :)

i guess if forgot to update you all a while back as in 6 days after penelope laid her eggs one of the new females whom is now named moostasha laid an egg in the water bowl... i noticed it in the morning she was still in the water with it... the lamp was not on and the water was cold, like wow thats cold... anyways i didnt really have much hope for it because who knows how much she moved in the water with it spinning it and such and then in the morning when i went in to grab it i spun it... like 1/3 one direction i put it back to what i thought was the top and placed it in the incubator... well even though it was 6 days after penelopes egg it too shows signs of life :) i could just make out a very faint blood vessel :) so i have two viable eggs in the incubator both from differant mommas and pappas and they both look very good :) a nice egg shell color firm no dents and both are alive :)

temp is still 80-81ish and humidity is high 85%-90%

and i suppose while im in the mood to update everyone..

i found it wierd that my new male walter was snapping at my "female" penny, well penny is as i type mating with another one of my for sure girls................................ so ................ yeah.........hmmmmm

the new trio is, differant the male is kinda a pain but absolutly gorgeous, one female is hardly out and about and ive only seen her eat three times.... and the other is great :) lol

well yeah i disposed of it(the egg that is), it wasnt good anymore and i was a bit worried that the mold(fuzzy stuff) might have been caused by it so to preserve teh other two i removed it, im darn close to positive it had gone bad, i thought it had weeks ago but today i was 99.99999999999999999 percent sure.

cant wait to see what happens in the months to come :)

CONGRATS ! do u think penny is a boy ? i was a little confused on the post

well i was thinking it was weird that she was mounting another female... so i was questioning my sexing of her. as it turns out penny laid an egg Yesterday, soooo i know for sure penny is a girl i was just doubting myself after this behavior :)
