hi these are from two clutches one i found in the greenhouse and one in the path.i reckon they were laid about a week apart as one lot had started to chalk up and the other was fresh.they have hatched together there was 9 eggs in total they all developed and there is one from each clutch left ,i havent given up hope yet lol.i didnt get any more clutches or found any in the garden,so thats the lot for this year.

It's wonderful the success you've had with these Terry, are you going to keep some of them? It would be great to see them as they develop and grow

Bindi i know i shouldnt but number 5 appears a lot paler than the others so all i have to do is hide it from the wife.Christine is the sensible one otherwise i would keep them all.oh and between you and me number 8 looks like it may pip overnight lol.

thanks for looking Linda im pleased you like them.

i will do my best Jane but its not easy.i may try for a picture in the morning.at the moment they disappear at night under the soil next to their basking slate where it is really warm and moist.i will try for a picture as the first ones emerge.as they get older some use their dry hide .for some reason one of these already digs right down into the dry substrate there.i will have to watch its weight they dehydrate so easy when they are small.you need to watch them and check the urates arent getting gritty.these seem far less forgiving than hermans hatchlings.

Thanks Terry, your posts have to be my favourite at the moment I am gleaning all the info I can from you in preparation for my little ones if they ever hatch. I still bath Phlox daily and if I miss a day I can see the diference in consistency of his / her urates, so bathing daily will be part of their routine.
