I love this time of year as the winter clutches of Burmese Stars have finished their diapause and incubation and are all hatching. 4 different bloodlines. These are the newest batch in just the past 3 days...
And here they are back in their brooder box to get that perfect start...
And the brooder box goes back in the incubator I use for brooders as it has a light to start getting them used to a photoperiod...
They will join the others in about 7-10 days when their yolk sac is completely healed and they have at least done their first poop!
In that 7-10 days they will be eating a wide variety of foods as you can see in the brooder box, and have gained an average of 15% more weight. Their yolk sac and sometimes misshapen shell from hatching will go from this...
To this when ready to join the hatchlings from earlier clutches in their first enclosure...
This type of start allows them to thrive and look like this - who is now 130g and about 7 months...
