Egyptian hatchling
Hi all
Just thought some of you may like to see some photos of my baby Egyptians,They are now 6 months old.They seem to be growing well,And i can not see any signs of over growth.

Hi Paul, Thank you
Torterra,Thank you.The hides are not under the lamps they are next to the lamps,In the photo it does look like they are under the lamp though.The reason i place the hides next to the lamps is the Egyptians like to lay there eggs under there hides.They like cover when nesting,Hence the lamp near the hides keeps the substrate warm. Linz thanks mate.I may sell them once i know for sure what sex they are,Im doing a incubation thing with them.
