Lindsay,
It's a little tricky to date eggs that small, but they definately grow with time, and if they look big, they may be further along than you think. I've hatched out several Brevs a little while back, and the incubations averaged around 65 days at mid 70's. The babies hatched with an impressive hatch rate, and the kids were TINY, probably no more than 3/4" long, with basically no tail. I fed them on mostly Melanogastor flies, and pinhead crickets. Anothing thing I noticed is that they grow very slowly. After 3-4 months, they're really not a whole lot bigger than when they hatched, eating well and everything. Here's a link to a picture of a newly hatched Brev with vermiculite still stuck to his nose. Enjoy!
