Congrats!!

Is that an L williamsi? Mine should be hatching in 3 weeks or so! I can't wait. And since I've moved Mom and Dad to a new vivarium, there's no chance of it being lunch!

Sure is Zippy .

Im going to move them again to a bigger enclosure soon . So all the eggs will have a chance to hatch .

That's awesome! I hope my two eggs are fertile. They were laid about a month apart, so I have probably 2 months left on the second egg, minimum. It's pretty cool to think I might have babies soon.

I think the one I just hatched is from november .

Oh wow - that's like 5 months incubation? :yikes: Well then. I guess I won't have my first hatchling till ... March +5 months ... *thinking* .. August? Ugh. I can't wait that long LOL.

I incubated in tank and the temps were pretty low so thats why it took so long . It shouldnt take so long if in a controlled environment .

Hmmm...

Well, i can't take them out of the tank, since they're glued to the side of the tank. I did put a heat lamp back on it, even though there's nothing except the eggs in there. LOL... a full 20 gallon long tank, with nothing but eggs. I'll be moving it to my bedroom just to have it out of the way, but otherwise, I'll keep it exactly the same, with a heat lamp on during the day.
I would say the temp in there ranges from 80-82(where the eggs are) during the day, down to 75-78 at night .. I could leave the lamp on all night, but this whole past 5 weeks or whatever, the heat lamp has been off at night.

I was able to take the lid off today and get a really good look at everything. The egg that was laid in mid-March is easily 2x as big as the one that was laid about 1-2 weeks ago - which I guess is a good sign - whatever is in there is growing! Maybe? I was able to touch them gently, and they are firm, and as far as I know, they look like good viable eggs. I have no idea though - I've never had a lizard egg of any kind.

What do you think - is a big egg a good sign?

I think so

Im so excited Rob . This is a good sign . If all goes well with all the pairs this summer we might have to get a table at the october show !

Congrats on the baby! I believe it's normal, and a really good sign when the egg grows. Leo eggs grow like that before hatching. At that temp, I'm thinking maybe 3 months incubation, but I haven't had any eggs myself (though both my ladies are looking huge!)
