Default Surprise

Wow look at this little guy I found thismorning.

It must have hatched from a secret clutch of egg(s) that one of my female horsfields laid that I missed, and was successfully incubated in there indoor enclosure with no aid except the room ambient temps , yes the subsrate is deep,

I don't now which female is the mother, Ellie the more prolific female (or should I say the only breeding female ) usually lays 3-5 eggs so if its her then yes perhaps there will be more, if is Tammy then she has never laid that I know of but she is big 950g so perhaps its her and clutch size isn't known from this female ,

The baby is a different colour than any I have bred before so i assume its Tammys baby.

havn't dug around to check leave it nature .
