Congrats on your hatchling. Smile

It sounds as if the other one will be out pretty soon as well.

Thanks everyone Very Happy

I use a mixture of Perlite and Vermiculite and do my best to keep it moist.

The other egg was moving around last night when that one had just hatched, but it stopped moving and I havn't seen it move since.

Just wondered is this a sign of it not being strong enough to break out and should I try and give it help by starting off the cut. Or shall I just leave it?

By the way, the size of it on that picture is bigger than the lizard actually is!

Awwwww!!!! Mr. Green

Lovely! Looks like a flame Cool

Any pics of the parents?

I would be worried about the other egg and tempted to interfere.. is it the babies clutchmate? I assume it is... See what other people suggest as I've never bred them before and don't want to offer the wrong advice... Neutral

Yeah it is the clutchmate. I was worried that if it had been wobbling about it could drown inside? But this is about 18 hours ago now? I'll see what most people say first.

I have some pictures of the parents but they need re-sizing and I've got to go now, will post them later.
