Leopard gecko breeding questions

Rex is also what I named one of my crested geckos, lol, I guess it's a good name for reptiles. The water could just be gone from evaporation, since leopard geckos don't drink a lot. As long as he has access to water most of the time it will be fine.

I named him that because I love Jurrassic park and Jurrassic world. Delta and echo were also names I seriously considered.

You should have more babies coming so you could use all of them. :D

:rofl:That's for sure!

So I just was checking on Rex and he didn't move when he saw me like he normally does, and his eyes were open. I think he was asleep, but I've never seen a leopard do that before- sleep with his eyes open. Is this normal? I did clean his enclosure this morning so I guess it could be stress? I don't really check on my geckos much during the day so I guess they could do it sometimes when I'm not looking.

Maybe he's meditating? ;) :D (I've only had one leo & don't recall any sleeping with eyes wide open.)

So the egg hatched but the hatchling is small and has a large yolk sac still. I don't think he was ready. For now I put him on moist paper towels in the incubator. Is the yolk sac just yolk or organs, too? What do I do?

Can you post a pic?

Sure. He was screaming a little at first but has a lot less strength https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/sho...hp?i=60997&c=3

Some of my geckos will sit in the same spot with their eyes open. I don't know if they are sleeping or what but it's not super uncommon. I think the baby is fine. Just let it be and avoid letting the towels dry out.
