To say the least I'm bouncing off the walls this morning.

Almost 5 months to the day after being layed. Our first baby Yellowfoot came out to say hello world. My older daughter named it Lucky.

Incubated at 81.7* with 97% humidity. No substrate method was used with great success. I can not find other records of this method being used before. After a lenghthy talk with a Reptile Zoo owner friend of mine. We started to get worried the shells would be to hard for the babies to break out. Thankfully not the case.
PS: these are my wife Josee torts and she gets all the koodo's for this day.

Egg tooth is easy to see.


In this picture you can see the 3 pinkish unfertilised eggs.
