Hello and thanks for the congrats.
to Dan: well last year my female breeder was about 1,5 years when i startet the season, so i think maybe a bit to young i have talked to different breeders, some are also here on the forum, and the age could have been one reason ( all eggs were fertile, but the hatchlings died in the egg i opend all eggs after a time of course not to early, and they looked grown well in the egg but they had no power to get out ). for this season i cooled them a bit longer ( 3 months) and i droped the night temps lower than before. for the incubation medium i use ( for all my geckos now ) a substrate called " Seramis " in Germany, gardener shops sell it here for plants, it stores the water for room plants. my experience is that it keeps the moist very good and it is not to fine so the air circulation is very good, another good thing is, when it tries to dry out, you can see it very good, because the color of the substrate gets lighter, so you have a control that the eggs not dry out.
i am looking forward to see the others hopefully hatch, it looks good so far the other egg of the clutch may hatch soon. and the other clutches should hatch every 3 weeks now. the female is still laying so i hope there will be more eggs soon. i posted a mating picture of the intermedius a few months ago maybe you will remember. i also have 2 other females and males, but they are to young for breeding right now, but they are from a different bloodline so i can hopefully build up a good group now.
as my experience until now is, that str. intermedius is a bit tricky to breed, also not many are in captive as my kwoledge is.
