    Blue tegu's are finally hatching!!!!!!
    I came home to find 8 little Tegu's running around the bin of the first eggs laid. I washed them and witnessed the last 2 in that bin hatch. I'll post some pics and a video soon.

    All 10 in the first bin have hatched. The ones in the second bin were laid over the next 2 days (odd).

    ALL 17 HAVE HATCHED!!!!! My wife came home and "tickled" the rest to come out. One of them is smaller than the rest and a bit weak. One seems to have a kink in it's back, we'll see how it goes.

    Thanks!!

    This morning I cleaned the tanks and gave them dusted crickets. That's why they look a bit "ghostly". It's amazing how much of a mess they can make in 6 hours!

    Cricket Carnage!!!! It looks like they ripped the legs off of many of the crickets!!!

    Here they are after gorging themselves on turkey. It looks like the aftermath of a drunken frat party with all of them passed out all over the place!!

    Some new pics after a bath. They're shedding.

    They're a little lighter, if you compare them to the first pics, and the patterns have changed a little.

    Gorgeous animals! They sure seem to be growing up in a hurry. How big do these guys get to be full grown?
