A clutch of eggs

We get our eggs from the Greenmarket these days, and unlike factory eggs, these come from a variety of chicken (and duck!) breeds.  It's interesting that the chicken eggs come in so many different colours, but I've never seen a duck egg coloured anything but white.

Gecko eggs

We woke up yesterday morning to find two eggs in the gecko enclosure.  We have a pair of Crested geckos in there along with a Gargoyle gecko.  The Cresties are apparently one of each gender because they've obviously mated.  The one atop the rock is missing his tail - he shed it when we put a piece of decoration on him on accident.  It doesn't seem to bother him though.  As far as my referring to him in the male gender, my 10 year old assures me that he can tell which one is what gender.  I'll take him at his word.  He was musing what a cross between the Crested and Gargoyle geckos would look like; he does love his critters!
