hi ,well i reckoned these graeca graeca eggs i found in the greenhouse would hatch about 10 days after the hermans as they showed about the same level of development when i found them all in the greenhouses.the hermans hatched 9 days ago at 59 days so these i estimate at day 68.or at least for this little chap.

Oh Terry! Congratulations, what a stunning little face he's got! The markings on his head are such a lovely colour, are they usually that light when they first hatch?
