Hey Suze, I've just got back from hols and see that your hatchlings have arrived. Hell of a wait isn't it? Congratulations on your sweet, tiny little things, and amazing to think that in the wild, they'd be fending for themselves now. Got back to find that five of my six hatched yesterday while I was away, my 18 year-old neighbour has done a sterling job looking after the incubator for me.
Congrats again - big smiles in your house then. Karen

Hi Karen, I was wondering where you had gone, congrats to you too, one of my little ones has a jaw problem so don't know how that will end but she is in the capable hands of Gordon( turnip) glad here you've got some more. I've been uba careful when going out, turning lights off, making sure they're asleep or taking them with me!!!!!

Suze, I tested the lamp I had used when the disaster happened and it get's hotter than the other 60w lamps, so it's been binned. I've also put soil under their basking lamp, and made it quite damp and uneven, so that if they do roll over, they can get some purchase turning the right way up, - great tip from another forum member. Previously there was a terracotta plate under their lamp which was flat, so they wouldn't have been able to right themselves. Now all we need to do is watch them grow
