It's an exciting hatchling day! Not only did my first L. williamsii pop today, my Gonatodes egg also hatched!

This is from a CB female and a wild-caught F0 male unrelated to any other bloodline in the U.S. He stowed away in a pottery shipment and found his way into the petshop where I work a couple years back.

Laid 10/23, so incubated nearly three months.

In the hatch tub (forgive the mis-spelling on the lable!)

Unfortunately, my joy has been somewhat dampened. While the hatchling is still doing well, when I went in to clean its parents' tank today, I found the female dead. No apparent cause, she'd been thriving, just... dropped dead.

Thankfully the wild male is still alive and well, so I guess I'm in the market for a new mate for him now. (Shoot me a line if anyone has a spare female for sale, please!)
