New borns first in 3 years at Harveysherps

[Harveysherps]

Well they aren't Tegus. But I did have some new borns this year. So I can't say breeding season was a complete bust. These little guys are from the adults I traded to Kazzy. I've got them hatching every 2 weeks. I know they are just geckos . But it is still exciting when they hatch. LOL

I used to breed leopard geckos. Theres nothing unimpressive about them. I think they are beautiful creatures, and those are some nice babies you have, especially the first one. Good luck with them!

I'm gonna give them to a kid or something. I'm not planning on keeping them. Thanks alot for the nice compliments though.

Nice geckos dude, I was thinking about getting a male for my female but like i said in other post, im just not a big fan of my leo but I do enjoy looking at her.

 

[Harveysherps]

Thanks everyone. I kinda gettin into the Crested Geckos. They are more my speed. Very easy to care for. That's my thing. LOL The leos are fun. They are very easy to breed. I've got some better pics. I'll post them in a few.

Well the count is up to 5 new borns. My camera is really in bad shape but here are some more pics.

Now for the cell phone pics sorry for the poor quality

Congrats, I had some Crested's hatch a little while ago but I am keeping them secret because I might run a contest or two

 

[Harveysherps]

Cool Puff how long did it take for them to hatch.

 

[PuffDragon]

Hehe I loved to tell ya but with some reptile detective work someone could figure out the exact day lol!!!

 

[ZEKE]

why dont you want anyone knowing when they hatched puff?

 

[PuffDragon]

When I eventually do contest (few months away, don't get your hopes up just yet) it will be easy....guess the hatch date.

 

[ZEKE]

oooh that will be hard how would someone like me who has never bred them know how long it normally takes for them to hatch.

 

[Harveysherps]

Go back and find the post where they laid eggs. Then do the math. It's pretty simple actually. LOL

 

[ZEKE]

i can find out when they laid eggs. but i got no clue how long they stay in eggs before they hatch. ill have to do research about it

 

[Harveysherps]

The eggs hatch 60 to 100 day. Depending on temps. I'm gonna make a guess and say it took Puff about 70 days to hatch them. It will really depend on how much detail old Puffy gives us on the incubation temps. His eggs and my eggs were laid around the same time. From what I have read the Cresteds and leos go about the same amount of time. Which is around 62 to 75 days at room temps. I keep my temps at around 78 to 80. I think around 65 to 70 is what it took mine. I didn't right it down when I started incubating them. I put my eggs in a butter tub and set them in the top of my closet. Then after about 60 days I start checking them everyday.
