Re: Name that Egg!

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)

.....ha ha Philip, so was I....lol

which egg are you naming Trump?

Re: Name that Egg!

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.

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

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

Re: Name that Egg!

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!

Re: Name that Egg!

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

Re: Name that Egg!

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?

[limebrook1]

Re: Name that Egg!

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

Re: Name that Egg!

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

Keep us posted!

Re: Name that Egg!

Okay, well it was the middle top tray, and the first 5 eggs have all hatched. Petrie, Kinger Mole and Draco are all out. The top right egg was the first, and Petrie the second!

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!

Re: Name that Egg!

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
