I left the Monterey with plenty of dried food and birth waters then wrapped the tank bottom and sides in heat material...the thermal material oven gloves are ...

Well, by the conditions the next morning around the food shell and the absence of honey in the clam shell, I'd say they had a celebration! [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]
