Guess wot?!
Yanno I said yesterday that I thought Bandita was gravid?
This morning I find her guarding - rather wearily, it must be said - a clutch of five MAHOOSIVE eggs and one slug. Five eggs! I managed to pry her out of the laying box and gave her a gentle rub over to make sure she'd passed them all - she had - and she really didn't have the energy to do more than give a bit of a hiss. I put her back and she slouched off to sit with Zico under his hide; the last I saw of them both as I headed off to work was the pair of them snuggled up together, heads resting next to each other as they watched me leave the room.
Awww!
So, around the 18th of September we should hopefully be hearing the slither of tiny scales!
Excited? You betcha!
(In other news, albino bull still AWOL. Bastard.)
