...Well not me exactly, but it's very exciting...We were just told by the vet yesterday that Betty, my tortoise, is going to lay two eggs in the next week (probably while we are away skiing!). Two eggs as plain as day on the x-ray ready and waiting. It's thrown us into a bit of a panic but we have a good friend who is going to come and check everyday and act as midwife if necessary. Sorry Mr Admin, it's not entirely skiing related but I'm so excited I couldn't keep this quiet...What a pressy!!! :lol: I think this will probably be the first time on a skiing holiday that I will be thinking occasionally about what's happening back home!
Going skiing on Saturday and just been told I'm having twins!!!

Congratulations to the 4-legged cornish pasty!
Have you started thinking about names yet? :lol:
But why the standby-midwife? Can't you just put mum in the fridge until you get back? :shock:

Congratulations Snowbandit, how exciting! I hope the expectant Mum manages okay. Do tortoises get egg bound? Have the eggs got to be kept at a certain temperature?
Pablo - I hope you were joking! If we all really stuck only to ski-ing at least 50% of the messages would disappear :shock: In fact, come to think about it, I'd probably only post about one per week :lol:

They can get egg bound but she isn't. They have to be kept at 32 degrees for 65 days and cannot be turned at all or moved after 48 hours, hence needing a friend at the ready to get them carefully into an incubator! It's exciting but come at the wrong time as we have three ski holidays booked, all within the next 65 days! :shock:
This is skiing related anyway, as it is all about issues that may arise while on a skiing holiday and how to cope. :lol:

Tortoises..............right.
I thought you had found out your OH had bought you a new pair of twin tips. How disappointing.
