Magentas seconed clutch *Hatchling NEW photos pg 43!

[GeckoGarden]

Thought Id finally post the photos of my first clutch of the season.

These babies where laid Feb 17 2011,

They are incubating at 84.1 *f and a humidity of 85%

(Ignore the readings on the temps on the photos, it changed when I opened the lid to get the photos, and to add more water to the bottom of the incubator)

The father is a Pastel, and the mother is a Tiger possible hypo mix.

^Mother

^Father.

Its been 41 ( 3-29-11) days since they have been laid, and I'm itching for them to hatch, this is her first clutch that I have incubated, so I'm hoping all of them hatch well.

Oh you may not be able to notice but I'm using this nifty little thing I found online to help Incubate eggs.

Its for leopard gecko eggs, but it works good with bearded dragon eggs to.. Granted you cant put the lid on since the eggs are a bit to big. But so far it works wonderfully.

Just thought Id post some more photos ..

Some of the eggs I'm worried about,

Do they look normal.. They started out pure white and now look like this.. They are still nice and firm though..

i hate to tell you, but no your eggs do not look normal...like you said they started out white and should stay white until they hatch.
cant say for sure whats goin on, but looks like some type of fungus or mold has got them...does it smell bad when you open the incubator up?
the eggs shouldnt look like they are wet in places either...if you have more eggs, you need to have them in a incubating medium also... (hatchrite) is a good product...it holds in moisture and has some anti-fungal properties in it...this is probably another reason they have not made it.

They look like they have gone south.

There is no smell. They are still firm and plump. There's no mold or anything. There where orginaly kept in repti soil for a week till the incubation holders came. I'm thinking they might just be stained? Also when I candle light them I still see blood veins all over. I won't toss them out untill they fully colaspes and mold over. Hopefully that will not happen.

The soil can stain.
So if there is no funk let it ride.

So I candle lite the smallest one today, the one I was most worried about.. I saw a little baby foot twitch! Im so happy.

I did candle lite some of the others and saw some little tails.

They are still nice and plump, no denting, no smell, nothing bad so far.

Guess the dirt really did stain the eggs a weird color.

Its now been 43 days

Humidity is the same as always. I didn't pick any of the little eggies up : ) but I'm takeing your advice and just watching from the out side of the incubater

Its been 56 days.. When I hold the flash light up to the side of the container they are sitting in, I see little tails and other random body parts move around like crazy.. I cant wait for them to hatch.. I was really hoping they would hatch today since its my 21 bday.. But no such luck Ill just have to keep waiting and hope they hatch soon.. Well I did have one thing hatch.. But I dont really count silk worms as exciting and stuff.

Dont worry about photos.. There will be millions of them once they hatch

Happy birthday to you then

I am so excited for you. I can just imagine the feeling when you see those little things moving inside.

I am already that excited and my dragons just mated lol

Gratz do you!

 

[GeckoGarden]

At this rate the silk worms might out grown them, and have to be feed to someone else! hahah

My inner mad scientist is ticking and itching to open one up and see whats going on inside the egg.

Granted I would NEVER Do this no matter how much I wanted to.. Unless I knew the egg was dead Id Never open on up

 

[TASTIGER]

ohh soo exciting we hatched chickens and it was so fun to candle the eggs and see little feet moving
