New Blue Tegu's Hatchlings!!!

Very sorry to hear of the two lost....but congrats on the rest! They are amazing! It never ceases to amaze me how such big babies can come out of such small eggs! And the way that baby reptiles come out of the egg completely ready to live independent lives....as opposed to baby birds or mammals that need a lot of nurturing before they can live on their own. Simply beautiful and amazing!!!

Thanks!! It is absolutely amazing!!!

The first day hatchlings are already bigger than yesterdays.

One more hatched this morning just about the time we got up. We came home this afternoon to find 3 more running around! The last egg was the one with mold on one end. We "tickled" the egg a few time and saw some movement. It took some work but we got him out!!!! He's the runt of the "litter", the mold was probably sucking the moisture out of it.

18 total!!!!!!!

More pics and some video later.

They are too cute!!! Congrats :)

This the egg that has had mold on one end almost from the beginning. I thought it might be toast but we tried the "tickling" technique to get him out.

Here's one with interesting markings on it's neck. Instead of straight stripes it had a "U" shape, and the stripes behind it are also unusual.
