They're hatching!!

Today i went to look in my incubator as usual....and found 3 Chinese water dragons!! They are just too cute!!! 12 more eggs to go and some have already been sliced open....just waiting to come out!! this is so exciting...and i thought the king snakes was great....this is just getting better with every hatching egg!! now i love my animals and want them to have the best start, how long should i hold them before i send them out in the world??

Congratulations! Asian dragons are the better looking of the water dragons I think.

If you're asking about how old before selling, I usually hold for 5-6 weeks before I'm confident that an animal is off to a good start. I've never bred water dragons before, so I'm not sure about they need special consideration.

omg there is so many....and damn fast!! , so far all have hatched except one....i think its gonna hatch later today. this was very exciting!! i went out and bought special small crickets for them...but they dont seem interested yet, is that because they just hatched?? this is my first lizard babies, so i am not sure if that is normal, otherwise they look really healthy to me

I don't know about water dragon babies, but leopard gecko babies won't eat until after their first shed (which is generally within 3-5 days of hatching)...

It'l take a couple of days for them to start eating.. they absorb their yolk sacs for a bit before feeding. Offer them food 2 days after hatch. they look great!
