429. We're ready for eggs!

Indeed, eggs are prominent in the bellies of some of our girlies. Hence we have set up some incubator eggs boxes in anticipation. One change for this year is that we are using bottled water rather than the usual stuff from the tap. We are testing out to see if it might help to increase our full-term success rate. So, we are definitely ready apart from one spaneer in the works. That being that is has turned awfully cold in the last week and we have 100 cm of snow on the ground. Given that reptiles are highly sensitive to environmental change and will not lay when it is too cold we are hoping for a little bit more warmth in the coming days to encourage laying. Incidentally last year our first egg of the season were on 22nd January.
