hey everyone,
last night i candled my eggs (i couldn't help it) and saw they had little tails and legs moving around and kicking...it was so cute!!! i can't wait.

today is 50 days...how long do you guys think until hatching occurs? they've been kept at 82.7-84.9 their whole in cubation time...83-94 most of the time. any guesses?

i'll post pics when they hatch.

no advice for ya but thought I would send y congrats and let you know draco is doing good. He is quite the escape artist though.

when it comes to escaping....i seriously think thats all he thinks about!!!!

how's he escaping from your set ups? they looked pretty escape proof to me.

but, yes, he does love to climb and escape.

one time i found him up on top of one of our book shelves and i couldn't figure out how he got up there!!! anywaz, i'm glad he's adjusting and acclimating well....hope he gets your brteeding project started off well

thanx for the congrats!!!

the cage he is in wasn't completely finished but there was 1 1/2 ft between where he could easily acces the top. he just kept finding ways to get up there but have solved the problem now. he fits in great, always trying to get to the females but great with my kids.

You are probably a little closer than you think. I would venture to say you might see some action in about 3 weeks. 60-75 days would be a little closer average. Some go longer but some have been recorded hatching at 53 days.

Mine started hatching at 57 days, which was early by most estimates. 82-84 degree temps.
