We have some Sceloporus graciousus as office pets. This summer I managed to hatch three of the four eggs laid.

Unfortuneatly one of our cats killed a gravid Sceloporus occidentalis over the summer. Even though the eggs were a bit underdeveloped I removed them for incubation. 8 of the 9 hatched, but 2 had severe skull deformities and had to be euthanized, 2 have minor skull defects but are doing well, 1 is a real runt, and 3 are perfect.

Here's 5 of them


Here's a close up of one of the babies with a skull defect


I also have a desert spiny found at the Lompoc Prison. Apparently she hitched a ride when the milk truck made a run to Arizona. She'll try to take my fingers off at feeding time if I'm not careful
