Awww, makes me miss all the babies I had. Wish the ones I had kept would have survived.

EEeeee you had a bunch of babies?!! We've come across a couple hatched out egg cases but never a full one or one in the process of hatching...would love to photograph that!! They sure are cute when they're tiny Like 'em when they're big too [link]

Yeah, I had an egg sac from a female I kept last Fall. I wanted to keep one her babies at least to name after her, but it didn't happen.
