Congrats!!

 

Take your eggie into a dark room with a flashlight, and candle it!  It will have a pink/red ring-the "magic Cheerio"-if it's fertile!!

Crossing my fingers for ya!!

But don't worry if it's a dud...the next ones might be fertile!!

Just keep your male in with her, and let him do his job!

thanks! im assuming its prolly somewhat normal for it to be just one since its her first ever but is there anyway i would be able to tell if she is eggbound or is it possible she could suddenly lay one more soon??because i know it take around a month gve or take for the next clutch.

I'd check the lay box again before bedtime and then again in the morning.

Sometimes it takes them a while to get both eggs laid, especially if you interrupted her during laying.

Sometimes they do only lay one, though.

If you see one side of her more "chunky" than the other, she MIGHT be egg-bound.

Just keep an eye on her and on the lay box.

I'm betting you'll have the other egg soon.

To take your mind off the waiting you could maybe try keeping records and notes about all your little guys 

And congrats!!  My first babies took around 120 days to hatch, maybe a little longer!

thanks guys! i am really excited its been two days no other egg layed so just one for her first and its looks like its doin ok i didnt candle it tho so idk if its fertile or not but it is still bright white and lost the small dent and wrinkle it had since i took it out of the laybox, but i must say i opened it up just once since i put it in the deli cup and man it has a funky smell..not like unbearible but just kind of a wierd funk to it lmao. idk if thats a bad thing or not.
