Thread: Name that Egg!

Okay, so you asked for pics! Here are the eggs in the incubator - the smaller eggs to the right and bottom are the new ones laid yesterday, the others were laid 4 weeks ago, and if all goes well will be hatching sometime after the 15th November. You can clearly see the older eggs have increased in size!

Go on - name an egg! These are bearded dragons, and could be male or female, all males or all females! LOL

Or how about having a guess as to the first one to hatch!

Jorja

Hee Hee! Which egg are you naming????

This is so fun Trish ...

I am going for the First born, Female, and name "LadyEye" ... have to have someone named after me, hee hee and might just as well be a "Bearded Dragon" ... hmmmm ... lol - There she is!! I will guess she will weigh 10 ozs - lol - I have no idea how much they could possibly weight on birth ... but that's what I'll guess ... oh and please notice, she has come out "CleanShaven" - no beard, lol

Jorja is the one in the top left-hand corner ... and I'll for 7th born ... lol ..

LOL! A dragon named Lady Eye eh? Love the deco - if she comes out looking like that I'm worried!

Jorja Top left for White Shephard - 7th to hatch!

Any more?

Mine is in the same container as LE, the first one on the left...She is the 4th one born and her name is Cetra....And she is going to be HOT!!!!

I am loving this! Well done folks! Only.... 39 more to go!

Omgoodness......the eggs.

..Lil' Petrie

I'm guessing he's gonna be the 21st born

Nov 17th.......

Just to let you know all the eggs are looking very good! Had a few concerns about a couple of the new ones, but even they have rounded up now!

Er... heavens, what will I do if they all hatch????!!!

Don't think so - will have to set up vivariums for all the little blighters, and they ain't cheap! Just hope I can sell them all! LOL I'll be broke and overrun!

Yeah, but they'll be ssooooooo cute..

Top, middle basket, third down on right, 2nd born male:

"Draco"

From the Greek name Δρακων (Drakon) which meant "dragon, serpent". This was the name of a 7th-century BC Athenian legislator. This is also the name of a constellation in the northern sky.

O.o did I do this right? Becker - Male #5

You did it great! Eggs still doing well - no duffers so far! Could be hatching anytime from next week onwards (or maybe not for another few weeks!).

I'm spending £300 on new vivariums this weekend just to house the blighters!

Wow that's good news to hear Trish .. and yes it's getting close, I wonder if it will be a noisy event, lol ... you won't get any sleep once this all starts, one hatch a day could prove very tiresome for you, lol

Keep up the great "Mothering" ...

Aww, I remember when mine were still in the egg. I am guessing the 16th baby born will be second basket, 1st row, last egg and it will be female.

I would have never thought I would run into a fellow beardie lover on a site like this...

I meant to add a name...Cinder

Hey I was born in the chinese year of the dragon. I think it means power or something along them lines. Can I call one of the males "TRUMP" (for obvious reasons)

LOL! You never know who you're going to meet on here!

Having spent £300 on new vivariums and fittings for the little uns I'm starting to worry that something will go wrong. My son, Michael, thought he saw mould on one of the eggs today. I do hope not! Fingers crossed everyone!

By the way, I love your beardie on your gallery page - such a lovely colour!

Cmon Becker you can do it! xD

Even if he did notice some mold, don't fret just yet. You may want to move some of the other eggs out, OR you could just sprinkle some athletes foot powder (light dusting) over the egg. That usually helps. But NEVER give up on an egg unless it goes black and deflates. Some of my worst looking eggs hatched out perfect babies! Is this your first time?

And thank you about the gallery. I love having these babies around. Its so fun watching them discover new things, and once one does it, everyone else in the tanks 'light bulb' goes off in their head and they do it too. Its just a blast! Lots of work and money though, lol.

Come on LadyEye .. you can do it .. you can crack that shell .. break out .. it's TIME NOW!!

How many days left Trish? We are getting close right????

This is good news Trish......a little mold may be nothing....

.......these little guys & gals....seem to have quite the personalities.........lol

Time for an update Trish .. how are they .. just a few more days until the 17th - how is LadyEye doing ... I know she is busting at the sides of her shell to come out ... won't they be cute .. can't wait to see the little tiny baby pics ... like 2 mins old .. hope you will have time throughout all of this to capture those shots ....

So .... how are they ??

Update, right. The egg with the mould has had to be thrown out - not quite sure which one it was, but I'm sure it wasn't one of the named ones! We've set up the new vivarium, but no sign of any hatching yet!

Fingers crossed everyone that we don't loose more!

Weather has turned very cold, so the temp in the incubator has been going down a bit a night (especially when our heating packed up last weekend - fixed now!) so I'm hoping that it will only slow things down, and won't harm the little blighters!

Could be anytime now - or another 4 weeks!

Don't worry - as soon as I have a pic it will be up on here!

name one masonsbro, please

Day 68 and still waiting! Just found out that though they can hatch from 60 days, they can take over 100!

I'll probably end up beating the record! LOL

Are the ones that are due to hatch still really plump? You know you are 2 days to 1 week away when the eggs start to deflate. Sometimes they dimple but mine have always just deflated. Kind of like a balloon with a slow leak. Mine typically hatch in about 58 days. Lower temps mean longer incubation times. What are your temps?

The temp is around 82 - 83 f, so I know it's around the lower end. The eggs are still nice and plump and no sign of deflating yet! Just getting fed up with all this waiting! LOL

Next time incubate at a slightly higher temps ( around 85*) and I bet that they hatch out by day 62.

Keep us posted!

oh my, oh my......

< pacing the floor back & forth, looks at the clock...waits some more >

Just went to check on the little blighters and they are running all over the incubator now. Michael will have to catch them later and put them in the viv!

Will post pics shortly!

YAY! Now the work begins lol!

........oh my little Petrie....haha, I was way off....lol, but he's healthy and I'm a proud mommy....goes off to make some baby bearded dragon clothes & matching booties......lol

you're #2 Petrie...sssssshh

watch out for that bad ol' Draco, he wants to bite you....

..Kinger made it Liz!

Well one of them certainly has attitude CL! Not sure if it was Petrie as they were spread all over the incubator when we went to get them out and into the vivarium. Opened his/her mouth to threaten Michael! LOL

Haha, I think that it was Draco!......couldn't be Petrie, although I'm sure Petrie's going to be all over the place..........ha ha, if he's anything like his adopted mom.... lol

Trish, Trish .. how many now .. ? Do u still have them all? Any big big beards yet, lol ...

18 still - we had to give up on the last 3 eggs from this batch, but I'm quite happy with that number. Of course there still are 21 in the incubator ready to hatch in about 2 weeks time!

All thriving and looking good! So cute - they've started arm waving, which is a bit distracting when I'm trying to work LOL

Oh sorry I am late, could I name one? Please, any egg will do, I want to name one 'Nogard'.

LOL Of course you're not too late! Tell you what, I'll name the first one to hatch out of the next lot for you!

Anyone want to hazard a guess when that will be? (could be anytime before or after the 23rd!)

Awwww thanks Trish, I can't wait for my little Nogard. If I have to sit on the damn egg myself I will.

O.k off to decorate Nogards room....Please be home for Christmas Noggieee.

No Astral, Robyn I can't sit and hatch it with feathers on me bum, Nogard will get confused. I must have a bit of reptile in me though, as in my chat up, playboy days, the women where always calling me a snake and a lizard.

Anyway, checked last night - Nogard's staying right where he is at present. Don't blame him - if I was in an egg I wouldn't want to hatch in this cold weather!

Can't believe me little Nogards not showing his little head, maybe he hates Christmas just like his super-hero Daddy...Chip off the old block, see you on the 2nd of January son.

omg.......this is hilarious....

Trish about the feather education

.....it was Paul saying he would hatch the egg himself..........lol

I read the way I want to remember Manuel......it's much more entertaining........ lol

.....eggnog Holly

Playboy Paulie snake in diguise with feathers on his butt decorating for Christmas.......lol

Our eggs are loved......they're gonna get eggactly what they need......even some extra feathers....they don't need.....lol

ok, ok - if one comes out with feathers I'm am going to be seriously worried! LOL And if it comes out saying bar humbug it will definitely be Nogard!

So Paul's a lounge lizard eh?

haha Trish......you may have to worry then......cuz, he's definately going to be like his Dad.....minus the humbug part.....how could little Nogard be the least bit scroogey when he's born in the month of December.....I say it's next to impossible.......

yeh......a lounge lizard....no wait....it was a Playboy Lounge Lizard....lol

Don't they wear just cuffs & a necktie? lol.......show us Paul! lol

this thread now needs a R rating......lol

Well it will if Paul complies! LOL

No, Nogard is waiting for all the Christmas fuss to die down and then, and only then is he coming out to meet his dad.

He will be a lounge lizard, of course. I have just finished his slippers so we can watch the football all warm and comfy.....



His food? Well no hunting for bugs or anything strenuous like that, nope already sorted that for him.....



Noogggieee will want for nothing......

omg Mr T. slippers.........lol

Merry Christmas to you girl.......and the whole house full.....wtg Petrie, eat lots.......

Er - Paul, bearded dragons have 4 feet! LOL Oh, except for little Stumpy of course, he only has the two. But he's already taken! (we're keeping him!)

Er - Paul, bearded dragons have 4 feet! LOL Oh, except for little Stumpy of course, he only has the two. But he's already taken! (we're keeping him!)

4 Feet? Are you sure, oh yes of course they have! Well little Nogard will have to stand upright, I'm not making anymore for no-one, those bleeding slippers took me ages to make.

Hey - Nogart's just hatched! He's sitting all along in the incubator with 20 eggs not showing any sign of hatching.

Maybe they are waiting to be named.... so get naming everyone - Nogart wants some brothers and sisters!

.....thanks Trish!

Nogard is born yaaaaaah! and before Christmas....won't Batman be surprised! He's gonna have to like Christmas from now on.....lol

Oh pick me pick me......I'll name another one.....lol

A girl this time......named Belle

for the season

Hey - Nogart's just hatched! He's sitting all along in the incubator with 20 eggs not showing any sign of hatching.

Nogards popped his head out! Unreal, Oh just as I went away aswell, I feel so guilty. The father should always be there at the birth.

Anyways Trish if you could just post him up to this address, recorded of course.

Batman
Tha Cave
Gotham City
Huddersfield

Thanks a million, look after him for now.
