Two more hatched in last two days, so now there are 16 and only one egg left, which cracked at the beginning, but it seems that there is a little one inside.

 

[Jacqui]

Awesome, if that last one makes it then 100%!!

Last one started crawling out, just made a small hole in egg.

Picture time.

Number 17 crawled out today.
Once they had feet outside we took them out of eggs and put them on paper towel so they wouldn't eat vermiculite.

Soaking time for everyone.

So now they all hatched 17 out of 17, including one cracked egg and one egg with hole.

Now we need to wait for second clutch.

Update again and a bit of photo spam!
They all doing great so far. I do however have one question, they started to grow and between scales a small ridge appeared, about half of mm in depth. Is this start of pyramiding ?
They have coco substrate which is kept moist, and taller cup of water for moisture. We got them uva and uvb lamp, they often sleep under it they can move to other part of terrarium, but they don't, and i'm worried this will dry them too much?
Small lamp is ceramic heat lamp and is on during night and bigger is uva/uvb lamp during day only.
On last photo you can see what i think with ridge
