Nice Mark...congrats!

You're not going to be too upset when you only get 29 hatchlings though are ya?

That's all the eggs I counted. :shock:

That's all the eggs I counted.

There was one more egg added to the first bin after I took the picture. On the left side, you'll notice an empty spot. It's full now :-).

[Alias47]

Very nice...

Makes for a good day to come home and see that!!

[AussieDragons]

Thanks guys :) . All the eggs still look great, so I'd say we'll get another 30 babies out of this clutch.

Itasca State Park? Been there many times.

[Alias47]

Actually I was thinking about an area just south of Dubuque, Iowa and just NORTH of the Palisades State Park...

It's where I duck hunt...can't be more than 2 or 3 feet deep at the deepest other than the channel...

[AussieDragons]

At Itasca, you can walk across the river with nothing more than your shoes off, and your pants legs rolled up to you knees. It's about 5 steps across.

[Alias47]

What about the shipping channel?

[AussieDragons]

Found a good reason to bump up this thread :D .

The female pictured at the beginning of this thread laid another 26 eggs last night (1 dud, 25 fertile). 8)

Congrats!

Indeed. I can't wait to go back. The fire lookout tower is awesome :-)

[Alias47]

I just realized where Itasca is...LOL...(Search button does WONDERS...LOL)...I was thinking Itasca, Illinois (so provincial, I know) which is NO WHERE near the Miss. or any other river for that matter...


I bet you can walk across the Mississippi there...it is where it pretty much comes out of the GROUND, isn't it?
