Will do! They should hatch the week before Halloween, and be able to be sold in 3 weeks.

We're down to 25 eggs. The 4 that looked bad when I found them in the nest are toast.

The other 25 look great!!

 

[LuvMyDraggies]

25 is still an awesome number! I have been reading the thread on the tegu forum about the eggs.

 

[DaveDragon]

It looks like 2 more are going down, 2 more are suspect. Bobby Hill said I'll know how many are actually fertile in the first 2 weeks. The ones that aren't will collapse and harden. It's been 8 days.

 

[Mistyck]

Very cool! Hopefully no more will collapse.

 

[DaveDragon]

Well, we're down to 23 eggs.

But we've got veins!!!! I didn't candle every one, but I saw veins in 8 of them!! I think I even say a few embryos!

51 days to go!!!

 

[DaveDragon]

There's one more going down with brown mold on it. I cleaned the mold off with peroxide. On further inspection I found a slight amount of mold on 2 others, which were cleaned. Bobby Hill says some of them must be dying and should settle down 2-3 weeks after they're laid. We're 12 days in with 47 to go. I hope I don't lose them all.

I was going to start taking deposits this week but I'm going to hold off another week or so to see what happens. I've had a few inquiries by PM in a few forums but I don't want to start taking money until it looks like most of them are going to make it.

Thats great news and great pictures too! .. Good luck with the eggs and of course the parents, keep us all updated!

 

[DaveDragon]

21 eggs and holding steady. 27 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

$300 plus shipping. I was going to take deposits but I'm going to wait until they hatch. A few will be sold locally and the rest will be offered in 4 or 5 forums so they will go fast!
