:D

[AussieDragons]

She's due to lay within 7-10 days.

[AussieDragons]

Oh - and CONGRATS!! That's excellent. :D

[sputnik]

Oh - and CONGRATS!! That's excellent

LOL.. thanks! :D

Incubator is ready... oh and so am I :roll:

[AussieDragons]

I'm betting she lays 14 eggs.

[Quigs]

I vote tumors.

Quigs

[sputnik]

I'm guessing 15 at this point.

[inflaguration]

Congrats. Hope every thing works out.

[AussieDragons]

You know... Unless the angle is creating an illusion of sorts, I'm going to take back my original estimate and say she is going to lay before the end of the weekend.

[sircat]

ooh that's so cool...good luck

[Haroldo]

Congrats and good luck!

[jay]

I vote tumors.

Quigs


You know for some reason i knew you were going to say something along those lines Q :lol:

CONGRATS!!!! I can't wait to see the eggs, and then them cute little babies.

[sputnik]

Will be posting once lays them and hope to get some during laying! :D

[Quigs]

I still say...they are tumors!

Quigs

[sputnik]

Your are just jealous Q :P

[Quigs]

Nah, I got tumors too!

LOL

Quigs

[sputnik]

You expecting your tumors to hatch soon? :roll: :wink: :lol:

[Quigs]

Tumors don't hatch, silly! That's what I have been trying to tell you!

Hehe..

Good luck with 'em, Scott!

Quigs

[AussieDragons]

Hey Scott - Did she lay yet? :D

[sputnik]

Not yet!

I guess I should check on her again :D

[AussieDragons]

Our females generally lay at about 4:00 PM... :wink:

[sputnik]

I'll set the alarm! :D

[Alias47]

On a whim I am going to vote 17 eggs...

That rocks...

[Quigs]

That rocks...
Eggs Derek...not rocks! Well, tumors...maybe.

8) :lol: 8) :lol: 8)

Quigs

[Alias47]

IT'S NOT A TOOMAH!!!

[sputnik]

I'll go check her again now.... "I'll be bark." :roll:

[AussieDragons]

"I'll be bark." :roll:

Woof? :lol:

[sputnik]

Sorry about the bark, I was trying to sound like Arnie! :roll:

[AussieDragons]

That's what I figured... All bark, no bite. :lol:

So? Eggs yet? :lol: :D

[sputnik]

Okay, here is the much anticipated update on the bearded dragon eggs. Drum roll.......................................

Nothing!

[sputnik]

I should point out that we owe our lives to Arnie and our freedom... he has saved the world times then anyone else! :roll:

[Alias47]

Give it time...heard it takes a while for tumors to hatch... :P

[Quigs]

Nothing!

Yep....see? Told ya they were tumors!

Quigs

[sputnik]

It is now 4 hours to the 4pm dead line! :?

Can you feel the excitment building :roll:

[Alias47]

Hurry up and wait.

[sputnik]

Still waiting.... :roll:

[jay]

Still waiting.... :roll:


Well you do know that you go on her time and not yours? Someone cool told me that once :roll:

[Quigs]

Besides, it's not 4 o'clock yet!

[sputnik]

Besides, it's not 4 o'clock yet!


That is when I sit down for a cup of coffee.... I'll be really mad if I have to post pone my coffee break and furious if I have to cancel my 4pm cuppa! :roll:

[sputnik]

It's 4pm and I am enjoying my coffee... I have banned her from laying for the next 30 mins. I simply will NOT tolerate it! :roll:

[lkpabst]

I'm guessing 10 tumors......er um I mean eggs. LOL :D

[sircat]

all in good time...and patience...good luck, but they'll come...wow, so many phrases to answer with...a watched pot...etc

[Alias47]

WELLLLLL??!?!?!???

What happened?

[sputnik]

As of yet.... nothing! :D

I think it was just gas... :shock:

[Alias47]

I think Quigs diagnosis may prove correct...

Your poor cancer ridden beardie...LOL


Hopefully she will pop any time now...

[sputnik]

I predict it will happen some time this week... :roll:

[Alias47]

Probably next month... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Haroldo]

Well, I called Momma Cleo for her freee reading and she said, "Your beardie will lay when it will lay" :lol:

[sputnik]

Well, I called Momma Cleo for her freee reading and she said, "Your beardie will lay when it will lay"

Why that's brillant.... what's her number she seems genuine! :roll: :D

[Haroldo]

Her # is 1-(598)-IMA-JOKE

[sputnik]

Her # is 1-(598)-IMA-JOKE

She seems to of changed her number from 1-(598) BAD-LIAR ?

[kenster]

I am impressed Scott I figured all the numbers you dialed started with 1-900 :twisted:

[Alias47]

Or 976 for those LOCAL calls....

:twisted: :twisted:

[sputnik]

I am impressed Scott I figured all the numbers you dialed started with 1-900

If I dial a 1-900 number all I get is a message saying your account is on hold untill you pay the 1.3 million still owed. :roll: :D

[Alias47]

Thats why I always call from the neighbors... :P

[kenster]

Thats why I always call from the neighbors... :P

Remind me to unplug the phones if you ever stop here big D :wink:

[Alias47]

Naaah...I don't go IN and call...

They have a phone connection outside...very VERY easy to just plug a phone right in...

Besides...that way I can run the cord right into my basement dungeon...heh heh heh

[Alias47]

Thats why I always call from the neighbors... :P

Remind me to unplug the phones if you ever stop here big D :wink:


Better lock up the dog, too... :P

Mighty good looking lab.... :twisted:

[sputnik]

Updated pics. Here she is today.

:shock:

[sircat]

that's pretty cool...crazy and camera happy huh?

[sputnik]

that's pretty cool...crazy and camera happy huh?

Yeah, I had to wait till she had finished applying her make up before taking pics! :roll:

[Alias47]

She looks like she swallowed a bucket of peanut M&M's WHOLE...LOL

[Quigs]

Scott...

Sunshines condition seems to be getting progressively worse. I think you should immediately package her up and send her to me!

Quigs

[sputnik]

LOL...

Well, if she stops eating M&M's she'll be fine! :D :lol:

[Harts Moon]

Hopefully it will be soon. Want to see baby pics when they hatch.

[Quigs]

Almost 4pm again, Scottster.

Hurry up and get your cup of coffee and ...wait.

Quigs

[Alias47]

Still no eggs???

Man...she is certainly taking her time...

[sputnik]

Yeah, another 12 mins and it will be coffee time!

And as always.... No egg laying is permitted from 4pm - 4:30pm each day!

Management! :shock:

[sputnik]

Still no eggs???

Man...she is certainly taking her time...

Nope, glad I am not waiting on them for breakfast, I'd die of starvation! :roll: :shock:

[Alias47]

The hungry guy who DID wait is the one who said "Don't count your chickens before they have hatched"

[sputnik]

The hungry guy who DID wait is the one who said "Don't count your chickens before they have hatched"


It applies to reptiles too, don't think because you have eggs you will have babies! A lot can go wrong!

[Alias47]

I believe that...

I will never count the babies before they are sold...LOL...
Unless I am trying to talk me wife into letting me buy more snakes...LOL

[Alias47]

So has she popped yet?

[Quigs]

It's not 4pm MST yet...duhhh!

Quigs

[Alias47]

LOL....RIGHT???

Maybe she is just constipated...


REAL BAD... :twisted:


Hey Quigs...you get my email?

[Quigs]

Constipated with tumors! Poor girl.

Nope, no email, D. When did ya send it?

Quigs

[Alias47]

Maybe it was a PM on cornsnake...

like 3 days ago

[Quigs]

Ooh, I think I did! Did I not respond? I thought I did. Lemme see...

[AussieDragons]

Scott, where's the new pictures?? :lol:

[sputnik]

No eggs yet.

Still waiting and waiting and waiting........................

[Alias47]

Maybe it is time for a Caeserian Section.

[sputnik]

I need to post a few shots today, those egss are clearly visible! :D

[Haroldo]

Great news and we'll be looking forward to those pics! :D

[Quigs]

How's the coffee tasting today, Scott?

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Quigs

[sputnik]

Making my coffee right now! :D

Here's a pic from today!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Scottster/Bearded%20Dragons/Mar4th.jpg

She is busy digging right now! :roll: What a faker!

[Quigs]

Nice shot, Scottster! Were you able to count an approx. number?

Quigs

[sputnik]

You can feel about 10... but what lurks under those easy to see and feel eggs is anyone's guess! :D

[Quigs]

Yeah, looks like you can see 8 - 10 in the pic even.

What's an average clutch?

Good luck!

Quigs

[sputnik]

This is her 1st clutch.... and she is not a large female. A decent size adult can have 30 - 35 on average.

[AussieDragons]

Our best breeder averaged 29 eggs per clutch last season (out of a total of 7 clutches). Total egg production for her was 206 eggs.

[Quigs]

Not too shabby at all!

Yeah, I was under the impression they had fairly large clutches. I didn't however know they could have 7 clutches in a single year!

Good stuff...thanks!

Quigs

[AussieDragons]

Well, I'll be the first to say it... Raising several hundred baby dragons just plain sucks. :shock:

[sputnik]

Okay, she laid 16 eggs today. At this point I don't see veins in the eggs, so I don't hold much hope for them being fertile.

But we'll see what happens over the next few days, see if they start to go off.

[sputnik]

Here's a pic.... I thought it was very considerate of her to lay them neatly into the containers and put the lids back on! :roll:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Scottster/Bearded%20Dragons/IM003106.jpg

[AussieDragons]

Congrats, Scott! They look fertile from here! Guess I'll see the eggs tomorrow morning :-)

[Haroldo]

Good luck Scott and Liz. Hope they're all fertile! :D

[ravensmom5]

spawn of kiote>>> beautiful! let me know if you are willing to sell a little girl to me. my boy needs a mate. he's so lonely.
im guessing 10 to 15 darling little children. i hope it all goes well.

[ravensmom5]

that post was ridiculous. my pc couldnt be any more retarded and slow. ok ok. its my lack of intelligence, i mean attention.
oh my what a load. so moms doing ok then?
i hope theres some pay off for the poor girl. i had one and it was a chore. but geez.

when do we find out if theres a new generation of dragons in the pool?

[sputnik]

She's lost a little weight, but otherwise it's like it was nothing, she's bouncing around the cage demanding her dinner!

Collards and roaches were served with a side of calci powder! :wink:

Hopefully they will hatch in a few months!

[Quigs]

WTG Sunshine!!

Good thing it wasn;t during coffee break, huh?

Good luck, Scott!

Quigs

[sputnik]

This is Sunshine the day after, photo by Mark today. It is lucky they were not laid during coffee time or they'd stay there until I was finished! :roll: :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Scottster/Bearded%20Dragons/Sunshine.jpg

[ravensmom5]

if i eat a bunch of collards and roaches will i go back to my pre egg weight too? cause this twinkie and milkshake diet ive been on isnt working. :lol:

[kenster]

Those are some cool looking eggs buddy. Hmm do you think I'll be able to train my snakes to lay them in containers as well, and put them in the incubator and make sure the incubator is turned on and at the correct temp? Or is that asking just a touch too much?

[sputnik]

It may take a few rodents treats Ken, but it can be done! :roll:

[Harts Moon]

Congrats on the eggs. Looking forward to seeing them hatched.

[sircat]

[Alias47]

spawn of kiote>>>

That is hilarious... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Alias47]

All I have to say is...IT'S ABOUT FRICKIN TIME!!!
Just like a woman to take her own sweet time...(I KNOW I will get a rash of crap for that one)

Do you know if they are fertile yet?

Congrats, BTW...
Hopefully they will hatch for you...

[sputnik]

They still okay, no funny colored ones yet! :D

[Alias47]

Right on...

That rocks..

[sputnik]

We think so too

[ravensmom5]

it was either that or Satans child. :lol: i figures that was a more peace keeping title. she does live 3 minutes away. and the whole respect the parental unit thingie too. :wink:

[AussieDragons]

So... Did they hatch yet? :D :wink:

Hate to see this thread die so soon. :twisted:

[Kiote9]

it was either that or Satans child. :lol: i figures that was a more peace keeping title. she does live 3 minutes away. and the whole respect the parental unit thingie too. :wink:

Thank you honey! But Satan would be your father. I am an Angel...albeit a fallen one.

[sputnik]

LOL...

Should hatch early May I guess! I should mark it down on the calendar. :roll: :D

[ravensmom5]

im excited. and mom come on. your not fallen. just tripped a bit. :lol:
