[hayl55]

So here is teh hatchling from the only surviving egg from Lilly's first clutch with me. he is Soooooooo cute!!! I dont want to sell him! who knows, maybe I'l keep him, seeing as he's Lilly's first..but that woudl make it 3 permanent dragons in our small apartment. Yikes! but anyways, heres some pics of the hatchling..all tired and sleepy from his exahusting trip out of the egg Enjoy!

I think hes adorable But I'm biased, cause hes a part of my Lilly

Congrats....

I remember when you first got her and didn't even know she was pregnant :shock: ....I would have completely freaked out....You did great job considering the circumstances......she/he is a cutie......so tiny.

Take care and best wishes to your dragons

Awwwwww.... sooooo little!!!! I can't believe how little it is.

 

[hayl55]

thank you very much I wish I coudl have raised them all, but with my lack of knowledge on teh care of eggs at teh time, and teh lack of a hovabator really made teh chances of any survival slim..So this little one is a bit of a miracle baby to me Heck for teh first 2 weeks it was "incubated" on top of a water heater, with fluctuating temps ..until I got a styrofoam box and made an incubtor with a tank heater.. At least now if Lilly ever lays another clutch I know exactly what to do thanks to everyone on this site

I'm sorry if you posted it and I missed it along the way but did she only have one set of eggs or did she end up having another batch? Just curious...

she only ended up haveing the one clutch..wich leads me to believe teh guy who sold her to me already got 1-3 clutches out of her, thought she was done, then sold her..my poor Lilly oh ell, shes in good hands now. I love her to bits, and am soo proud of her

She/he looks so tiny - I'd be curious too. (I don't know you personally but I'd bet you're not going to sell the baby-Just my prediction )
