    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!!!

    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.

    I came home yesterday to an egg hatching. I grabbed the camera a got some video.

    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.

    I could only think at this time they've all found happy homes, Don't know thou, gotta wait for the breeder to respond.
    I can only say that they are all adorible!
    How funny is it that they come out of such a tiny egg. Survival of the fitest!
    Incredible pictures thou, I love the close up w/ the cricket!

    I think they all went to homes...Was really interested but couldn't pull the trigger this soon...Tried to contact to see when his next breeding would be, but no answer yet and it's been awhile...
