    thanks! the other eggs should hatch. so far they are all fertile and growing. i did have one clutch that molded right away, so i am guessing those were either not fertile or somehow bad.

    he is WAY cute. :P this one incubated for about 100 days at 73-76 degrees (room temp). depending on the temps they usually incubate anywhere from 70-120 days.

    That is so cute! I couldn't hold one of them, I would be afraid I would accidently kill it.
    Just so tiny.:)
