Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1
Do baby monitors hatch or are they born live straight out of the mama?

Yes that they do.. provided there are proper conditions. And crocdoc has that dialed right in perfect.

some hatching shots - part 1
Thanks again, everyone!
Yes, they're egg layers. The eggs of this species take 8-9 months to hatch, normally.
This is what the eggs look like before I've collected them, when I've excavated the nesting burrow and uncovered them. They're really tightly packed in by the female.
I've changed incubation techniques over the years, but this is what a typical clutch looks like before going into the incubator.
Nine months later, the first sign of hatching is a pip, when the hatchling slits the egg with its egg tooth. A few hours later it sticks its snout out and gets used to breathing air using its lungs, rather than via the umbilicus and egg membranes.
If you look closely, you can see the egg tooth on the tip of the upper lip
In this photo, two had hatched and another five had pipped
Eventually, they pop their head out, but will usually still sit in the egg for another 12-48 hours
It's rare to catch them in the process of hatching, as they usually back into the egg when I open the incubator. That's what this one was trying to do
