This is the 4th ooth from the 2 green females in a week! Somehow I missed the laying of the first, so I ended up with 2 on one stick from one female...

Now hopefully to see them through hatching. I read after I'd placed them in my incubator (sits at about 83 F) that they can be hatched at room temp, so I don't know if the extra warmth will speed things up or if I'm doing something stupid (also don't really have a room temp location; unless it's on the already occupied snake tank even most of my room is probably a touch cold for any ooth).
In other news, the 2nd generation of R. basalis are also beginning to mature. Mom's still around:

And not-so-shockingly a male is the first of the F2 to molt. He did not straighten out his wings properly for unknown reasons though...
