I dug up another nest today. This one is inside from a odd type ackie.


Heres the cage just before digging of the eggs.


Here I found the first egg and when I removed it, a window opened to the other eggs.


After opening the window,


Here is the clutch. There were 13 eggs total, one of those was infertile. One thing about monitor eggs is, they normally do not stick together like colubrid eggs. Yet these did, I left 3 stuck together. The others were barely touching, so they came apart easily. I have seen it with this type before. I thought there was something wrong, but it may be normal for them. Only time and more clutches will tell.


Here is the male to this clutch,


Again, this clutch is a product of a group of monitors, 1.3 that live together fulltime. With no problems. Enjoy Cheers
