With a heavy heart, I have to share some unfortunate news. As I was going to take the press n seal off our upcoming clown clutch, I discovered my worst nightmare. The thermostat that controls the temperature for the incubator went haywire and cooked everything inside to 150 degrees. It had to have happened either today or yesterday, but I wasn't fast enough... so that very well looks like the end of my season 💔

Another meal or 2 and these guys will be looking to be on the move!
