L. Williamsi Egg Updates
I haven't posted in a while. Just an update on my current eggs.
I have had my Lygos lay 5 total.
The first pair laid have been cooking for 71 days now, I'm hoping they hatch soon.
They are a dark in color even without a flashlight on them. Does this mean the embryo is very well developed, or something else?
The second pair is still pink, but there are dark spots in each, which are the embryos, I assume.
The final egg, a single, is very pink, but I can't see an embryo yet.
How does this sound so far? The eggs are uncovered, but I have witnessed no cannibalism of the eggs. I am hoping I will find the babies before they're parents do. I have a small Critter Keeper set up for them, with springtails and everything currently establishing themselve in it. I am planning on keeping the mini enclosure in the parent enclosure, so the babies can get the same UV and heat as the parents, without the risk of becoming dinner for Mom and Dad.I have Melanogaster flies on the way, along with some Repashy food, and springtails. Does it sound like I am ready to be a gecko parent, so am I possibly missing something? Thanks!
Jim
