Guess I'm just too quick Shell #cheesy# . Wow, she is going to be one exhausted little Mummy, even if no more eggs hatch #cheesy# . I hope for her sake that they don't all hatch, but it looks like she's an excellent Mum and they will! Will some be taken out to handraise?

Shell, with that many babies can you pop round and keep an eye on them? I really think that it is a bit much for her. Oh, and please, lots of pictures of super Mum #cheesy# and brood
