He is now in the enclosure. He spent so long in his shell that he has completely straightened out and absorbed yolk sac.
It is surprising how much he is walking around already. He is spending a lot of time under the lamp (temperature about 31.5)

Should we be expecting him to eat at all? Or worry that he sits under the lamp a lot?

I will post pictures in the picture section later today to show his progress.

Some start to eat straight away, others can take up to a week before eating.
So its worth putting one leaf out each day to find out:0)
Hatchlings just like human babies eat, poop and sleep:0)

Thank you, I will try to relax a little.

Not sure if all 8 will hatch, when candling them, some don't quite look right inside. The mother did lay another 6 a month after these, so plenty more hatching to come I think. Nothing like you first though...
