252. First plain Jane Mack Snow of the 2012 season.

This babe is literally fresh out of the egg. Checked the incubator at lunch today(17/04/2012)and she/he wasn't there. probably a female, bearing in mind the low temperature of incubation and its lengthy period. However, checking again at about 16:30 and we were greeted by this charming little babe. Parents are Slurm and Fanta who produced us Microfiche the supersnow last month. Incubation at 29 degrees celcius for this Leo took 52 days and hatch weight was 3 gram. In keeping with our olympic theme we have named him/her javelin. Sibling egg looks in fair condition so fingers are crossed for another hatch soon.
