OMG! 1st Leo Eggie Clutch Hatched!!!

My Sunglow babies are here!!! First only one was running around in the container, and the other had only his head sticking out. As soon as I picked up up the container to move them upstairs, he literally burst out of his egg and went crazy!!! They are so tiny and cool and I was acting like a totally effin lunatic, I was so excited. :D :P The first pair of Blizzard eggs were laid on the same day so who knows, they could make their arrival today as well. Here's the pictures!!

Congrats on the nice looking babies.

How flippin cute are those lil buggers! wow just darling! :gj::)


....on a side note, it has always amazed me about how large lizards look once they emerge from their eggs. Like its hard to imagine those geckos came out of those little eggs. I sometime feel the opposite with snakes...like the snakes should be larger for how big the eggs are. :)

YES! Those are awesome! Congrats....That is a great start to your Leo project!

Thanks Josh, Jake!!! Aww Charlies!!! Thank you. I wanted to text you, and Jamie was like Charlie doesn't care, and I was yeah he does!! Haha

Beautiful babies! I can't wait till I can have a leo again. Those babies are just so awsome looking.

aweeeee!! congrats! They are so frackin cute!

Ill be following right behind ya with two eggs this week sometime. I keep checking to see if they have hatched yet haha

Congrats! Those are some of the cutest leo babies i've seen.

Thanks!! Yea I was checking the eggs often too, these guys are actually about a week early, surprisingly.

Congrats on the litlle baby geckos! They are alot of fun as youngsters:)

Thank ya! They are so hilarious!

They are pretty damn cute! I have to admit, I wasn't that into geckos when Amy first decided to get into keeping and breeding them. Now I'm hooked! They are very cool!

Nice little sunglows! Congrats on the first clutch and hatch.

What day did they hatch on? Just wondering cause I've got my first group of eggs cooking and they're on day 35 I believe.

Charlie cares! Those guys are awesome!

Sweet!!! I want some! Maybe I should look into that at our next show..:D Congrats Amy/Jaime!

Con grats. We had a couple hatch out this week. They are so cute when they hatch out. What temps did you incubate at? Mix, male, female temps? Hope you get your blizzard.

Ack my two favorite leo morphs and you're hatching both! I must not look at the pictures....I must not look at the pictures! LOL

Congrats Amy, they're gorgeous babies. Can't wait to see the blizzards. :)

Wait until you see the crazy new ones that are coming tomorrow! It'll be even harder to resist!

Oooh I dropped the ball... Thanks Mel! The Blizzies are killin me with the wait... Charlie I know you do, but srsly you need to get on the ball and bring those rats over ok!!! Justin you should absolutely, but beware bc these things are as addictive as snakes. I literally have three shipments in a two week time period. How's that for a fix? Jo, if you think those are your favorite morphs, you're going to bounce off the walls tomorrow when I post pictures of the two engimas that are arriving, truth. :gj:

Probably not, and they probably won't mind the thousands of crickets, mealies, and roaches?:rofl:

Now that they will mind..LOL. Mealies are easy though.. There will not be any roaches though...They can live pretty well on mealies right, or do they need crickets too?

Yeah mealies are fine. When I kept and bred mine, I fed them roaches and mealies, with the occasional pinky mouse for adult females.

I preferred the roached to the mealies because they were softer bodied for the leos to digest, and are EASY to gutload.

The only problem with roaches is the fact that my mom can't stand them, and to be honest I don't like them either..lol.

So mealies for a staple diet with the occasional feeding of crickets and a pinkie mouse?

That'd work. You wouldn't even need the occasional crickets.;)

Now back to the regularly scheduled thread! Sorry Amy!!:P

Sweet! No dirty stinky crickets!!!

Sorry Amy!!:D

I am looking at breeding Dubias. Just trying to figure out the best place to buy a starter colony and also whether hatchlings can eat the smallest roach nymphs.

Awesome... Congrats, they are cute!!:gj:

I was breeding the Orange Head Roaches (Eublaberus prosticus), the advantage to them is that they can't climb or fly, and they DID breed like crazy.

I bought them from here:

Cool! From what I see, Blaptica Dubia can't climb or fly either. We are breeding mealworms as well which is going well. Lots of beetle love going on!

Those babies are sweet! I miss leo babies sooo much!

I recommend blaptica dubia although it takes longer to get a colony of them established than it does some of the other species. You really need to set them up and let them breed for several months before you start feeding them off (unless it is just a few at a time). After that they'll be established and you'll be golden. The nymphs are small enough for baby leos to eat.

I told Jamie the roach thing is all cool w/ me... As long as I don't have to be involved with it. I just can't handle it. I might become comfortable w/ it after a while, like I did w/ the mealies, but roaches just give me the creeps. So rock that out Jamies!! :gj: Thanks for the comments guys!! These guys are so feisty and cute!
