STUNNING! Congrats!
Would you care to share your methods of incubation and your breeding set-up's/temperatures?
Any info would be great!
Thanks!

I fill a bottlecap in dry sand and put this in soaked vermiculite. The egg is put in the bottlecap with dry sand. Daytime temp 24°C and night temp 20-21°C. I have three eggs still incubating: 1 for end of januari i think and two for late february. I found one open egg in the enclousure as well but haven't seen a hatchling yet...

I'm keeping him in a small faunabox with ecoearth on the bottom and artificial climbing plants all round. This faunabox is put in a bigger enclousure with the same parameters as for the parents.

Currently im working on a nursing enclousure with removable walls in between.
Will post result in a few weeks.

Mallick,
That looks like an unusually large hatchling. Did you take any weights, hatch weight and egg weights?
BTW, Well done!

ALAS i did not take any weights. Really should do it for further research. All i can say is offering a snail to the females once in a while really makes them flare up!
