Well I had my first egg hatch last night, and should have a second in the next few days. Here are a couple of pictures. I'll post some of the next little guy that comes out when he arrives. Hopefully the color morph will be different. I've got two more clutches (4 eggs total) incubating right now. I don't know what I'll do with all the little fellas. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Don't mind my dirty carpet...it's been a while since I vacuumed.

Cresteds are adorable, and the babies even more so. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

I hope they all do well.

Bad news. One of the two hatchlings died today, while I was at work. It's hard to say what the cause was. He was skinnier than the other, which I just figured was because he was a few days younger. I guess that wasn't the case. I don't know if he just wasn't eating or what. I have them on the T-rex crested gecko diet, but I think I'm going to start putting baby food in with the surviving hatchling just to make sure he's eating. I'm pretty bummed out about the loss considering this is the first time I've tried raising a clutch. I'm going to do my best to make sure the other one survives.

Loss sometimes happens in babies. I lost my first one a couple months ago. so far I have hatched around thirty. Did you house them together at all? Sometimes its hard to figure out what might of happened. I would just concentrate on what you have to raise now. Looks like a very cute baby :wink:
With mine I havent had an issue on CGD. I dont use the t-rex CGD, though I use the Repashy kind.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
