New Year babies and eggs
Happy New year all!
Woke up this morning to a bright new hatchling and a freshly laid clutch of eggs. Woot! 2014 is off to a roaring start.
Check out those stripes! I've been holding back the babies with the heaviest banding for the last few years, looks like it's paying off.
Here's the new clutch
Hope everyone has a fun and productive year.
Best

Re: New Year babies and eggs
I'm so jealous. I've still got a few months before I've got eggs. I hate the waiting game, but love every minute of it.

Re: New Year babies and eggs
Wow, gorgeous. Will it maintain that banding into adulthood?

Thanks.
Their color certainly changes but they do retain some nice banding as adults.

Thanks again.
Well... I USED to get 100% most every time but uh...(cough)...I kinda neglected the last few clutches and had some issues with them drying out, totally my fault. This clutch that is hatching now started out as 10, one went bad straight out, then 3 dried up, leaving 6, the rest are piping/hatching now.
I do have 2 other clutches in the incubator as well. I plan on trying out the water suspension method with the next clutch I get, those guys offered me free tubs... should probably take em up on it.
Best.

Yea I would too haha. I guess if you were getting 100%, anything less isn't great, but when you compare to all the other dumerils breeders in the US...oh wait. From what I've heard the suspension works great with some species, not so great with others. Good luck!

Re: New Year babies and eggs
Hi Ben, well done to you and the monitor parents, they have some beautiful kid/s!
I assume you do keep records of incubation methods and times, hatchling sizes etc, have you published the details, if yes, where?
