First Fat Tail Eggs!
Wohooooo, Galaxy laid her first clutch of eggies, and they are HUGE!
Here they are in the Incy
Closer shot
The one is slightly dented, I'm hoping it fills back out in a little while.
I just found these, so they must have been laid either late last night or sometime today.
I didn't expect a fertile first clutch, but I they both appeared to have the "magic cheerio of life" in them when I candled them!!!

That is awesome! I'm new to reptiles, how long does it usually take for them to hatch?

Did the female lay somewhere in the substrate or in the laying box? By the way, what do you use as substrate?

They're on paper towel, tile, and the laybox is organic peat soil and sphagnum moss. She laid in the lay box. I have the eggs incubating on Hatchrite, which is perlite. They're at about 84-85 degrees.

the first number ( eight) is males, the second number (6)is females, the third number (0) is unsexed or juveniles, and the 4th number (3) is number of eggs incubating.

2 more eggs! Wow that was fast!
I got two more fertile eggs yesterday! Here's hoping that they all hatch out healthy little Fatlets!
I read that Fattie eggs can take anywhere from like 45-60+ days to hatch. I think the average is like 50 though, many sites say different things.
I'll let you guys know if I get them to hatch successfully.

Success!
Ok, so the first clutch of eggs, the dented one didn't make it. But Monday, about 55 days from being laid, I had a crazy dream about the eggs hatching, and I realize I must have been anxious. I had been candling and seeing the egg grow, and I was very stoked to get up, get some coffee, check the incubator and find this little guy running around in there!
So far, so good, and it looks like this little one will have Mum's stripe!
Two days after this little guy hatched, Galaxy laid another clutch, so I have 5 eggs incubating currently.
Woot!
