My first baby out of thirteen eggs emerged this morning. When it was found he was covered in vermiculite. We cleaned it off real good and flushed it out of it's eyes. He is alive and responds to touch, but is not moving on his own. Seems like he's sleeping. Is this normal? Is he just tired from the whole hatching ordeal? Also, none of the others have started to hatch yet. Should I assist them tonight by slitting the egg a little? Or should I just let them be? I bought 1000 116th in. crickets. Is this what you guys feed your hatchlings? Lastly, when they all hatch do you keep them in seperate containers to make sure they're all eating, or do you put them all in one? I've bred snakes before, but never lizards. The breeding pair was given to me already gravid. Any help is appreciated. Thankyou, Tom Magers

The others will may take longer to start. Don't slit the eggs and risk hurting the baby, they will come out on thier own. Sometimes a clutch will hatch over 3-4 days. The little one is probably exhausted. I usually leave them in the incubator for the first 24 hours on moist paper towels. Some may hatch with an egg sac still attached and the moist paper towels prevent it from drying up right away. Your babies probably won't eat the first 1-2 days, the egg sac usually holds them over for a while, then instinct kicks in and it's fun to watch them learn to control that little tongue! I would feed in small groups to make sure everyone is getting plenty. Have fun, enjoy your babies, they grow soooooo fast! Good Luck
