pecuniumWe have to feed a snake tonight.
She laid (we think, they aren't as easy to count as chickens' eggs) 24 viable eggs (and one lump. We're going to put it in the incubator, but the odds are it's a non-starter).
Looking at the calendar they are due to hatch on 01 July. For reasons unknown we've always found our eggs to hatch at about 45-50 days, rather than the predicted 56, so the odds are we'll be in the Paria (i.e. Utah) with the horses when they hatch.
Which seems to be the case for the past three years. Our first year was a shock, I thought the eggs (recall they were still a week from due date) had suddenly collapsed and died.
Nope, there were bunches of beautiful pencils squirming in the vermiculite.
