Firecracker 4th of July

I was mostly curious what he would do with the eggs. He's spending more time bouncing his nose of the egg crate to try to chase her away than he is tending the eggs though. Okay, maybe it's 50/50.

My male needs to work on his drive by too! lol

Here's a picture of their last batch. I stuck the picture in paintbrush and color coded the wigglers with four different colors in blocks of ten so I could count them. 190 in the last batch, of which they ate almost 170.



They spawned so fast after the previous spawn I didn't even have time to wipe the spawning tube off.

[Trier20]

Spawned again already!? Wow!

[Keith Perkins]

Maybe I should have said here's a picture of their prior batch.

[Trier20]

Lol I was gonna say

[Keith Perkins]

Okay, now they've spawned again. Well actually, they spawned again two days ago. Here's a couple pictures, the second dotted with colors to do a count (per Pat's request). Looks like just over 270 in this batch.

Yeah, a few more than we guessed last night.

I must admit that I was drinking at the time of this post.

After two hours of veggie garden weeding after posting those pics, I'm definitely having a couple now myself.

[Second Hand Pat]

A bunch more lol

Good luck Keith on your new spawing cycles. I hope you get some good results.

[Keith Perkins]

Looks like their adhesion isn't very good, this morning the wrigglers are spread on a much bigger area of the cone and mom is busy reattaching them. Just over 60 hours into the process is way too early for that to be going on already.

Good luck with all those pretty eggs Keith!
