Nice Scott...can't tell quite by juvenile pattern, but what ssp. are these?

Harold,
They are T.microlepis mackrensis

Wow, that is no easy feat there. Way to go. My trio is huge and healthy, but I cant get an egg out of them, to save my life. Did you induce breeding somehow, with misting, extra food ? Also, looks like you incubated the eggs dry, correct? Any help would be great.

Thx,
Alec

Alec,
I got them last summer (in horrible shape from a importer). Once I got them acclimated I cooled them briefly durning the winter. I keep mine dry on about 2 inches of play sand mixed with about 2 cups of a fine calcium sand. (ten gallon sized enclosure.) Each female laid 2 or 3 clutches and all the eggs have hatched but one and it had a full term neonate inside. I keep the eggs on dry sand and incubate at 89. I have lost 2 of the three orgininal males but have since replaced them with captive bred animals. I absolutely love the teratoscincus species. They are cool to observe and are quite fearless for their size. Dont give up on yours!!

Scotty Boy, I'm impressed you brought those sickly imports back from the dead and have babies. I need to come by this week and steal some babies from you. Great job!!!
