All 10 in the first bin have hatched. The ones in the second bin were laid over the next 2 days (odd).

I was just rubbing an egg, I could see the Tegu wiggling around inside, AND HE POPPED OUT!!! That's only the second one I've seen hatch from start to finish.

Here's a bad pic of the egg "tooth" on the tip of their nose they use to break open the shell. It comes off shortly after they hatch (sometimes minutes) with the first shed.

12 hatched!

:dan Finally now 3 more weeks but at least they're finally here. :app Of course just as adorable and cute as ever.

Little demons for making us wait so long, synchronized hatching. They planned it, had it all worked out I'm sure mom was probably in on it. She knew she had eggs somewhere :chin sending them vibes to hold out :mrgreen: .

They had a little help!! ;) I used one of Bobby's secret tricks to get them to hatch. I'm tired of waiting!!! Now if I can just get the last 5 to hatch some of the pressure will be off!!

ALL 17 HAVE HATCHED!!!!! My wife came home and "tickled" the rest to come out. One of them is smaller than the rest and a bit weak. One seems to have a kink in it's back, we'll see how it goes.

Lol, I might be in Florida this winter for X-mas. The only lizard I would drive to the states would be a V. Flavi monitor when Justin starts to hatch some out.

They're doing good. I saw the little one drinking and he ate a little Activia. Kinky is... kinked, we'll see how he goes, we may end up keeping him. The first 10 are hungry pigs, I threw some crickets in and they're eating like crazed animals!!
