Both my hatchlings died today. I feel like i have no idea of how to keep these lizards. Sad day.

I am sorry to hear that. I would not be quick to blame your husbandry skills though. Like Warnersister said, all that she had ever heard of people pipping their eggs resulted in death in days if not weeks. I was hopeful that your hatchlings would not go the same route. Don't get discouraged though, you have 4 eggs and possibly more on the way. Let them hatch themselves and see what happens.

yeah, it's a horrible feeling but don't let it bring you down. we all make mistakes in this hobby and it's a constant learning experience. good luck with your next eggs.

its unfortunate, but it happens. my first eggs were fried in an incubator when the guy i asked to incubate them decided that his beardie temps would be fine for my eggs too. the second group of eggs were taken by mold. the next group hatched early, and refused to eat anything. it takes a little practice, your babies tend to be as fragile as the few month olds from petco etc. they toughen up quick though, im breeding my second generation animals this year.
