Uh. I don't know, for some foolish reason I did not write it down. I posted about them the day after she layed though.

2 of the thre came out fine, but the third died shortley after emerging from the egg. The belly is very pale white right now once they lightne up I will take pic of them. Thy are going to shed real soon maybe they will have their yellow bellys then. they are about 4" long. Do you think I should seperate them? Of course I will supervise them when they are eating, but do you think they may try to eat each other? Oh and that one that died was deformed. It had a crooked back in about 6 places.

I don't think it would really matter if you seperate them or not, feeding "accidents" don't really happen with ringnecks. A few times while feeding my young ones, one of the others will try and take a worm from another. I would just watch them while feeding, but I doubt they'll end up eating each other. Did you keep track of the incubation temps. each day? Your ringneck eggs hatched a little too fast, all of the ones I have dealt with, took about 75 days to hatch, yours didn't even take 40. I think you may have incubated them at such high temps. that you were risking making them all have deformitites.

It was always either 83 to 84 degrees. They are doign absolutely great, they have not eatin yet though, but they have not shed either so no big deal.
