is there anything better?

[Jetfire]

Than coming home after work and finding out that the eggs you figured had at least another week have started hatching?
1 down,5 to go! Then another month or so before the gargs hopefully start poking their little heads out...hopefully..

Got my first hatchling this morning too!!! (The shiny stuff on her head is vermiculite. She objected very strongly when I tried to remove it! )

Yeah, the little crestie still has the coconut bedding particles all over it in the pic, it wasn't feeling the mister bottle last night.I incubate in the same bedding as I keep the geckos on; I haven't had any of the incubation issues other people have claimed from using it, side from some slight discoloration on the eggshells

Congratulations to both of you! That is probably a very exciting thing to come home to!! Keep us updated with more photos, please!

I'm up to 4 baby cresteds now, only 2 juevos left, both of which are like Mexican jumping beans right now.that would make me 10 for 10, eggs to hatchlings. sadly, it looks like my gargoyles will go 1 for 4 at best, hopefully the next round of clutches will look better.

I've got about a week to wait for the next hatching, but after that I'll hopefully have at least a one set every week!

I figure with the vermiculite on it, I'll be able to easily tell when it does its first shed. Most of it is off now, I just hope she doesn't eat any of it with her shed.

Here's the other 3 that have hatched so far

Yay,6 for 6! That's a whole cage full of cuteness!

 

[LeoLover1]

That is sooo awesome!! i am totally jealous. Those babies are beautiful. Very nice, clean colors, too!

Well,I was only planning on keeping one baby, and restarting my crested collection from there, but I have my son this weekend (Kaelan,cb'03), and he decided that a baby crested would make the perfect allowance for him.well,I saw it as a win-win (it saved me a trip to Walmart, and have me an excuse to keep 2 little cuties..yay!)

Took a couple group pics today while I was cleaning the tank they're in...

 

[LeoLover1]

Adorable! They look really healthy too!

 

[Jetfire]

Well, after careful consideration,I narrowed down the geckos to the 2 "keepers".I found a home for the other 4 after I subfamily made up my mind. And without further ado....

The red dalmatian brindle is "Charizard", the brown & tan harlequin is "Reese's" (don't judge me)

Where did the high contrast baby with lots of orange end up? It's the one in the far right pic on far right. Love it!

That's the one my son decided that I'm keeping for him. It looks all peanut buttery during the day, and I only hope it develops it's mom's colors.she has an awesome splash of rusty orange on her throat.
