I have two Indian stars male and female and they produced our first clutch, 6 in total, two have exploded throughout the incubation period and one has its hatched this evening!!! We are totally unprepared as I assumed they was I fertile and just was incubating them just in case thinking they wouldn't actually hatch!
Question is what on earth do Ido ?
Set up, temps, food, etc?...

I currently have left him in the incubator, sprayed him with warm water and have him some lettuce, as mentioned totally unprepared, because of the two explosions and haven't done enough research on what to id if they actually hatch.

Please can an expert guide me in the right direction

Go to the section on breeding and read the thread on how to incubate and start a hatchling. That will get you covered for the next week as the yolk is absorbed also read the care sheets in the leopard and Sulcata sections to get setup ideas

Thanks for the help guys

Another egg looks like it's hatching now :)

Tom, what do you recommend feeding them? What sort of set up do you provide for the, at this sort of age???
