I'm so excited I can't type! Just checked my eggs and found a baby. Not supposed to hatch for another two weeks at least!

Should I leave it in the incubator or take it out? I've got a place prepared for the babies, but have not set up the heat yet, as I expected a few weeks to finish.

Any advice will be appreciated. I'm actually too excited to think.

for now i would take him out of the incubater and use paper towels for substrate. He should be fine with our heat for a while (it's not like he has any food in his belly to digest yet)you can get a heat pad or light tomorrow. It would be better to give him a larger enclosure and some water and a place to hide with no heat than somewhere warm and very humid with nowhere to hide and nothing to drink. Good luck with your baby.AND CHECK OUT MINE ON THE NEXT POST DOWN!

Thanks for the advice. I took the little one out and gave him a hide and paper towel and water. And first thing this morning, the sibling hatched. I'm thrilled! This is my first attempt at breeding, and the first two of 10 (so far) eggs to hatch. I guess my home made incubator works!

These two are from my Tremper tangerine albino female and my hypo-tangerine male. They look normal, although the first hatched has some white on the head, and the other one's last stripe is sort of chevron shaped.

Your little one is so cute. Is that patternless?
