if she lays, i'll keep about 20 eggs. although im not sure if they'll be fertile as i'm assuming it's her first batch. i hope so though because tiger babies are SOOO cute

Mike, the smell in your room, perhaps some of the substrate has gone stale?

Yay Mike great news ;D Don't worry about keeping them all. You will unfortunatly, probably lose a few and I doubt very much you'll have trouble selling tiger babies. Fingers tightly crossed that they hatch ;D

You'll be glad that ANJIE MADE YOU keep them rofl, there is a high mortality rate with tiger babies, and its a sin to freeze them ;D I told you if you don't want to hatch them I WILL lol.
Anjie,x.

Mike, give them a chance before you start cracking them open I only ever crack them open if they are past their ETA hehe and only when i am damn sure they aren't fertile. Otherwise you're killing them! SPACKER!!! rofl lmao Anjie,x.

Omg Mike 7 days is nothing. Just leave them alone!!! They will hatch when they are ready.
