3 May
1000. New hole! even higher up in locust closest
to the labs, but facing the pump. 4 eggs, fresh
or infertile (at least 2 are definitely infertile):
① 25.6 x 19.4 ② 25.9 x 19.1 ③ 25.9 x 19.6 (IF);④ 26.5 x 19.6 (IF)
9 May
1000. Noone's been in the hole the last 2-3 days,
so I checked it: empty!
√ now #249
This (new) hole is not tagged, but it's in The
locust closest to the labs, high, about 2' higher
and facing the opposite direction from hole 289.
26 May
930. Checked the new hole again, now
tagged #249. 4 eggs again, this time
looking better. Unfortunately, I had a hard
time reaching them this time and crushed The
one I took out to measure, so I did not
take out the other 3. The one I did take
out was 25.7 x 19.9 and ~5-6 days incubated.
So should hatch ~1 June.
3 June
1230. 2 babies, ~4 do + 1 unhatched + undeveloped
egg (25.5 x 20.1). Too bad I didn't mess it
back on the 26th. I'm confident at least 3 eggs
would have hatched had I not messed up.
18 June
1200. Banded the 2 kids here. Still stores: Yes-
