Final Details
Eggsac was about 2" diameter, covered in a rough brown fur but dry on the inside despite a wet environment deep at the bottom of the burrow.
Eggs were large and mostly opaque, look to be infertile
Unsucessful attempt, the pairing looked good but something obviously went wrong with fertilization.
