Most US and EU breeders wount say much about how to breed theme, but from what Iv read on Australian webpages. They are like ackies, keep theme hot, and feed theme alot..
Egg-incubation seems to be the big problem, with many people have eggs go bad after a number of days. or that eggs go full term and the babies die shortly before they are due to hatch inside the egg.
So if anyone with lots of glauerti egg experince wants to chim in Id be very happy to get some hints on that puzle.

Kimberlys are no different then any other odatria. They are so easy to produce its silly. But that can lead to problems of support. If you do not look out, they will deplete their strenght.
The eggs are no different to hatch, then anyother odatria egg. They are very strong and easy to hatch. But all odatria need to be nested properly or the eggs and or neonates will be weak and fail easily.
The only problem with Kimberlys is they do not have the FAT reserves that stockier monitors have, so you cannot stress them for too long. They will not put up with that. They are much like other thin monitors in that respect.
To the person who started this thread, kimberlys should be left to experienced breeders for the time being as there are not enough around to be experimented with. Good luck
