So today, after waiting 3 days for one of the pipped eggs to hatch, we helped out a little and peeled some of the egg away. This dragon had made the slit and tried to get out (I recorded this) and had later on moved its head to make a new slit.
After the new slit had been made there were no...

So, last night or early hours this morning my first baby from this clutch pipped. We predicted Christmas Day and it wasn't too far off, being Christmas Night or Boxing Day.

So my newest clutch is due around Christmas Day. Just have a few questions.
1) How many to a viv? Previously I have done 5 to a viv, but with this clutch of 30 I was looking at doing maybe 3 to a viv?
2) What size vivs? I'm after some stackable vivs, but I need to know what size, was looking...

My eggs have been incubating for 87 days at 80-82 degrees.
I have candled them and they're all alive and I have gradually cranked the temp up to 84 degrees over the past week.

Also, when they do hatch, who wants a pic thread?

I haven't done much research on the lobsters, but I know they have a lower chitin which I'd prefer.
Sorry to spam up the board but now my babies are hatching I want as much advice as possible.
One baby has his head out of the egg fully but hasn't moved in over 11 hours, a new one popped just his nose out about an hour ago.
Is the first one just having an overdue sleep?
Is the second going to...
Hey, today is day 77 of incubation of my first clutch.
It started at 20, 3 were infertile (though never dented) but I lost a large number of eggs which I believe is due to them being clustered and not knowing whether or not to separate them. I am now down to 6 sadly.
In the last week, they...
