The Miracle of... Eggs

The hoped for and anticipated moment has occurred, Cordelia has had/laid/brung forth eggs! It all seems almost too soon, seeing as Nessie and her have been co-habitating for less than a month, but we will ask no questions of the happy couple! I have taken most of the eggs out of the tank, (I think there still may be a few on plants etc, but have taken all I can see). The little axolotl miracles will now live in a big plastic tub, (about 20 litres), until hopefully the birthday (hatching day?) happens in a couple of weeks!

  1. How exciting, how long is the gestation period?

  2. It's a few days from conception to egg laying, and a few weeks until the eggs will now hopefully hatch. Very exciting! My other babies (from a few eggs I found randomly in a pet shop), are doing well too!
