'Tis the season!

Looks like you got your vermiculite at Home Depot too. :)

Will you weigh your babies and share their weight with us? After rinsing, but before soaking or eating? I'm trying to get a good average weight for sulcata hatchlings from other breeders.

haha ya I can't seem to keep myself out of Home Depot long!

Yes Id be happy to get weights. Any thing I can do to help better our understanding of these amazing animals is high on my priority list! There are more eggs to come so I should be able to get you lots of data.

Omg sooo cute!! The only part of breeding reptiles I miss is pipping and hatching. My hats off to anyone putting in all the real work after. 9 years I enjoyed every moment but once I went back to work full time no way sadly. Retirement though I am happily awaiting!!
