Great pic and great looking hatchlings! May I ask, how big were the parents? Thanks!

Hy,

the picture was taken when they were something like 4 weeks old. The mother is 46 cm in total and the father 63 cm and a lot havier.
The first one hatched after 126 days and were incubated at 28 to 29,5°C.
A interesting thing I witnessed: The last hatchlings egg looked as it was dead. Small and dented in. You can imagine my surprise when a monitor came out a last. It was a lot smaller then the others but by far the most aggressive one. It gained size quickly and there is no way to say which one was tiny at the beginning.

I'll never throw a egg away until it smells bad

BEst regards,

Timo

Hy Frank,

If I count right there could be one or two more than in my picture. Impressive look! I love those little guys
