This baby didn't make it out of the egg

More eggs in her sides (which she has laid now)

How many eggs did the female lay? How many hatched? Did she lay more than one clutch? L. longipes?

I love their dark spinal markings! Its too bad that they almost disappear by the time they are adults...but they are still awesome lizards. I've kept and bred various ones over the years.

Glad you posted the pictures!
Good luck with them!

She had laid 5, 3 hatched, 1 went bad shortly after laying and the other died fully formed in the egg. I had the temps too high. They hatched I think it was 2 months after being laid. She laid a second clutch a few days after the first one hatched out. I have this next clutch (of 4 eggs) at a lower temperature (80*f). The first clutch was around 84*f. I am curious to see if she lay another clutch or not. They are L. longipes.

I actually work at a petstore and bred and hatched them there. The babies are doing very well and eating like pigs (finally) and growing I setup a little homemade drip thing and water drips down through the fake plant and into a large dish throughout the day. They love it and are always hanging out under it and drinking off the leaves. We just put them up for sale today and I will be sad to see them go. I priced them high ($64.99) so they hopefully go to good hopes.

Sorry the pictures are bad, they were done with a phone, but just wanted to share

They may not be the best pictures, but the sentiment is the same CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! They are special and I know you're proud of them. Thank you for sharing them. I hadn't seen a Conehead before either, so thanks for sharing!
