Another Batch Another Load

This morning, I was shocked to see that the other female of 5th inbred generation has laid her egg mass after 12 days of copulation@mating. The egg mass is to become the 6th inbred generation for my study. Of course, this is only for the 2nd replication as the 1st batch is still undergoing artificial incubation. In case, the 1st batch died, this 2nd batch will replace them. But so far as I observe, until today, only 4 eggs were badly damaged of unknown reason. Somehow, they shrunk and collapsed from the inside. Then again, lets cross our finger to the emergence of the new era of 6th inbred generation very soon!
