Egyptian hatchling

artgeckko Sep 23, 2007 11:59 PM

Hello-
Been gone for a while.
Had a really bad transaction experience with an individual from this forum, and was really thinking of not returning, but figured that he is an isolated case.
Just wanted to update the forum on Grover who seems to be recovering from his skin ailment, although he looks like hell.
And also to announce the hatching of fifteen of the 17 eggs that were incubating.
All hatchlings look very healthy, and have been separated into totes containing only 2-3 per tote.
There seems to be no evidence of sibling aggression as of yet that was so evident in the last clutch.

An amendment to the post regarding aggression.
The only time I have seen aggression in Egyptians, was as young hatchlings. Although toward each other, they will defend their territory(caging) from potential rivals as adults/ juveniles.
That is why I recommend always keeping them one per cage.
Hope all is well.

They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photo, would love to see more pix if you have them.

I have a yellow-phase Saharan male and I'm planning on getting a female soon, I'd love to be able to hatch out some Saharan babies! I work from home and have the space and time to dedicate to it. Photos like yours makes me want to even more

Just a word of advice.
Babies are alot of work.
Not too different from human babies. Really cute though.

Oh, yeah... I embarrass my girls any time we see a bunch of kittens or puppies, saying that I know what it feels like to have and feed a litter LOL!

And I'm glad you decided not to leave the forum.
