More news about the Timmy's Eggs |
November 10, 2007 11:43am |
Timmy/Timmina laid 2 more eggs today.
It is veterans day - Saturday Nov 10 in Los Angeles. Bri and I went out to Burbank's Noah's Bagels for breakfast. We walked around a street fair there and then came home to get to work - Bri on her blankets and knitted hats, me on website stuff and a quest to track down silver hoops to put in my old piercings which I recently discovered never healed up. I have four in total, two in my left ear, one in my nose, and one in my eye brow. I don't want to bother with the brow. But now that I can work from home I figure it would be fun to have my nose and ear rings back in.
When we got home I noticed Timmy had laid another egg. It was too late, she had eaten it (yes she eats them if we don't catch them in time) like I said Timmy will eat anything. Oh well, time to clean the aquarium. It's well over due anyways. I took a shower and when I finished and walked into our bedroom Timmy was floating with all her limbs tucked in. It was a trance like state that I have never seem. I confused her tail for her head for a second because it was dilated and bulging out, and I watched with wonder as an egg shot out and fell to the rocky aquarium floor below her. This time I got it out before she could devour it. And this time I looked up more information on turtle eggs.
According to The American Tortoise Rescue Website - the eggs if kept right hatch within 70-77 days. The writer of this page says her friend currently has 64 eggs incubating!
What the hell have we gotten ourselves into? |
