That is common with this species. I have heard of babies hatching within 2 weeks of the eggs being laid. The female apparantly holds on to the eggs farther into gestation than other egg layers.

Good luck with hatching these and I would not worry about trying to get these to rehydrate. You run more of a risk of killing the eggs through excess water.



Keep us posted.
