The first egg pipped on July 2, 120 days. It took first hatchling over 24 hours to emerge. As usual, the first one out was a male. The second egg to hatch had been covered with white mold on about 20% of its surface for about 5 weeks. Female hatchling looked perfect. Two more males and a female were out last night. I cut sixth egg about 36 hours after first one pipped. That hatchling just poked its head out this morning. Mullet Fingers and Sister Skink are red-throat parents. So far there are 2.1 red-throat and 1.1 no-red hatchlings. This clutch started with eight good eggs. Two died about a month into incubation. I used a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite. Temperatures were mostly in the mid-seventies.
