I'm curious to know how many days apart are your babies hatching? I have hatched out 7 so far, and now its been over a week since the last one. But the remaining eggs still look good.

The 5 hatched relatively close - 5 days or so. Number 6 didn't hatch for 10-14 days since the last one. I was beginning to think they were duds. I checked the other two this morning, but nothing was happening. They feel heavy and appear to be fertile, so I'm still hoping. By the way, I've been reading about eggs that touch each other tend to hatch closer together. These eggs were not touching at all. The other two clutches were placed so they touch, so we'll see what happens with those.

Do you sell them? They look so cute:p

No, I don't sell them ... just give them to people who can prove they know what they're doing. :)

What's your hatch rate like? Those are beautiful...do you ship?

These are my first leopards, so I don't really have a "hatch rate." I don't ship - sorry! :(

I'm not sure what you mean about hatchling set up? Right now they are out on the grass munching away. At might I bring them in. As far as incubation - I set the temps at 86-88 and kept a bowl of water in the incubator. That's it. :)

oh so you actually bought the incubator for them? Yah I seen those around $150 or so and you just put the eggs in an open container filled with vermiculite and there's a tray made for filling water at the bottom...just wondering because I've seen folks on here that have their own homemade incubation set-up using containers. Did all your eggs hatch or are you experiencing any duds? I can't wait to experience my first clutch or so...are you excited?
