While looking at my Timor's eggs, I have asked myself many times 'how can something hatch from an egg so small?' So, for those of you that have kept records on your breeding efforts, can you reply with:
1. Monitor type
2. Average size of eggs at hatching (width x length)
3. Total length of hatchlings after leaving the eggshell.
I think this would be a most interesting bit of information.
Thanks! John.
Hi John:
1. Varanus acanthurus brachyurus (Yellow Ackie)
2. Average length: 1 1/8-1 1/4" Width: About 3/4"
3. Hatchling size: 3 1/2-4" Long
Clutch size of 6 eggs, 4 good, 4 hatched.
Length of incubation: 2 at 88 days and 2 at 92 days.
Good luck with your eggs!
Pam
What beautiful little babies! Thanks for the info!
Keep it coming people!
Well congrats Pam, you are either the only person who actually keeps records, or I just don't rate high enough on the food chain to get more responses. In any case, thanks again for the response.
