Just wanted to put this out there..My female laid eggs in the viv and they hatched out inside. I would have incubated them but I didn't find them until they were on the glass lol. I know some people preach using an incubator but I feel the longer they're in the egg the more they eat/absorb from the egg and come out healthier. That's just MHO, this is my first clutch so maybe I'll try incubating the next clutch and see the results. Still torn bc I'd rather not disturb them but we'll see

Just found another baby crested and the other had died at some point shortly after hatching. Yes I know they lay a few clutches but I get excited every time I find new ones! So I currently have 5 babies and will be looking to sell them in a few months. the oldest are a month and a half old.

What is a sufficient age to ship my hatchlings? I bought my pair when they were 4-5 months but wasn't sure if that was a rule of thumb or a hardened rule. As I'm new to breeding I want to make sure I do it correctly.

I would feel nervous about shipping anything under about 6 g (2-3X weight gain from hatching). that being said, I only have one breeding pair and have only shipped once, a gecko at 8 g that made it just fine. to be on the safe side I'd wait for more experienced folks to chime in here

The babies are mostly his color with the mother's color pattern on their backs.

Just pulled 4 eggs out of the tank and placed them in a 16oz deli cup in an egg tray over super hatch. Should be fun watching them grow. I'm taking orders for them as they'll be ready to ship soon

So question, the lower of the two brownish eggs has developed a dent, what does this indicate? I assume the brown ones are due to hatch first so I'm just curious about the dent and what it could mean.

Found this little guy waiting for me tonight.

Well he goes entirely nubuck and then fires up to that red/rust color. I don't see a pattern developing yet, wouldn't mind if he stayed patternless or brindle. But what exactly is "brindle" and is it a desirable pattern?
