Got Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Blue Tegu laid 29 eggs today!!!!!
The nest.

Eggs in bin before washing. Top of clutch to the left, bottom to the right.

Close up of bottom of clutch. One eggs has a slight leak, two are soft & yellow on one end, and one was badly crushed and dented but not leaking.

Eggs in incubator.

He's not as good looking as her, but he's got a nicer personality.

Re: Got Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're down to 25 eggs. The 4 that looked bad when I found them in the nest are toast.
The other 25 look great!!!

Re: Got Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a big effort she put in! Is this a normal number of eggs to get from one of these females?

I'm told the average for a B&W Tegu is in the 30's. But much isn't know about the Blue Tegu's. There are very few people who have successfully bred them. I guess we got lucky. The coaching of Bobby Hill (Varnyard) may have had a little something to do with it!!

It looks like 2 more are going down, 2 more are suspect. Bobby Hill said I'll know how many are actually fertile in the first 2 weeks. The ones that aren't will collapse and harden. It's been 8 days.
