shes definately holding, good luck
 
funny the same thing is happening right now with me kenyii, she just spit them out and is trying to regather them, whats happening? what should i do?
 
how long does it take for the mother to hold babies for and how long for the eggs to heatch ?
 
is that acuple of weeks of holding eggs untill they hatch, n then more holding till they get to big. or am i thinkin in a totally differant path????
 
They should hatch in a few days (5 -7 I think is the normal) Then she will hold the fry until they are pretty much too big to fit in her mouth anymore.

If you look closely you will see the eggs in her mouth when she breathes and then in a few days you will start to see a whole bunch of little eyes in her mouth.
 
her mouth has gone down now. is this normal. shes still not herself, but hermouth is not big anymore. is that cuz the eggs hatched maybe? whats happening now?
