thats GREAT, I know how EGGCITING it is, and it always will be each time, LOL.

If when you go home hes/shes getting around quite well, you can put the hatchling in it's own little tank.

Make sure ya have UVB (lighting ) besides the heat. It's super important now that he will be growing.

Offer water, they dehydrate fast. Use a dropper, and offer often.
He probably will not eat for the first few days, don't be worried its normal.

Use paper towels , for a few weeks, NO sand.

OH I'm so very ** HIP HOPPITY HAPPY ** for ya, hehehehe !

PICS are a MUST, heheheheheehe !
