Im sure he is fine!! It can take up to 12 hours to come out of the shell!! And congrats!!

thank you, i heard it was up to 24 hours but my concern is the egg hasn't collapsed fully. How long do i wait to feed him ??

From what I understand from Brian, Tom and Lance, about 3-4 days after hatching, babies will start to eat.

I havn't bred, but what I have heard is that "they will make it out, or they won't". They say helping hurts more than it helps.

Ok he's out of his egg and walking around when do i take him out of the incubator and put him in the tank ??? Should i offer food sooner than 3 days ??

Again, from what I understand from the "guys", leave baby there for a day, or until his egg sack on his belly dries up, then move him to the other enclosure

Not to be mean but you should have done this research before you decieded to breed, but glad you are asking.

Hello,

I am not a breeder either, but they do "appear" to not breathe really at times when they are just starting to hatch out. What they are really doing is resting & gathering energy to finish hatching.
How is he doing?

I didnt decide to breed i rescued 2 female beardies and they layed eggs right away, so rather than kill them by freezing them, i incubated them. Maybe you should do your research before you say something like that !! There is a reason people have to rescue dragons, and its because they ask for help and get treated that this !!
Everyone else thank you very much for your help

Thanks Tracie,
I have actually found a breeder and they have helped me alot, his is doing great we have moved him to a viv with wet paper towel on the bottom of the tank ( to be sure not to have any issues with him getting stuck or tearing himself)he's doing great very happy and active. i will keep you updated and post pictures a bit later

Oh that's just precious... I can't wait to see those pictures, though it will be late tonight since I will be heading out to work soon
Have any more popped out yet ? This must be so exciting for you! Welcome to the wonderful world of breeding dragons. Now, just to let you know, a female that has been bred can lay up to 7 clutches off one breeding You will want to make sure both ladies have calcium daily for 5 days, just like a baby/juvie while gravid and after wards.
Did I mention I can't wait for the pictures ? lol
