Another 19!
Should have posted about this earlier - but cleaning and feeding 37 babies keeps me very busy!
On the 23rd December the first baby of the second clutch hatched - seemed he couldn’t wait for Christmas! No more movement for a couple of days, then heads started poking out on Christmas Day, and by the end of Boxing Day we had another 18 hatch. 19 from the second batch in total - just two eggs failed to hatch. We were very pleased with this first breeding attempt.
All the seond lot of babies are healthy - none deformed in any way, and all perfect. Lovely colours, just like the first lot. Now 3 weeks old, they are growing, shedding and eating well. The food bills for crickets for all the 37 babies is costing a fortune.
4 of the first babies have now gone to new homes - I’ve heard from the first people who bought a pair, and they seem to be settling in very well. They are called Magic and Eddy - Eddy after Eddie Murphy who did the voice over for Donkey in the film Shrek, so a nice link back to Shrek and Fiona there. Nice to think they are happy in their new home.
