Head starting brand new hatchlings!

[Levi the Leopard]

I'm head starting some Leopard hatchlings for a breeder friend of mine. She has some more in the "cooker" but so far I have these 2. Brand new babies still with some yolk sack and in the "egg shape".
Looking forward to the rest hatching
I'll have a blast giving all these guys a great start...then they will be ready for new homes
Thanks Tom and Greg T for your willingness to help lil ol me!

Congratulation for a successful hatch!!!!!!!

Good looking little guys there! Nothing wrong so far, so keep up the good work.

 

[Levi the Leopard]

Thanks all.

By the way bouaboua, I'm not the one with the hatching skills...yet

My friend has the adults who bred and she incubated the eggs. She is passing them to me as they hatch.

18-20 days old now Baby A on the left weighs in at 31 grams today. That's a gain of 4 grams!
Baby B weighs in at 37 grams. He has gained 5 grams!
Look at that new growth, too. Oh, and they are finally round lol.

Holy cow Heather. Soon you will be hatching your own. You just keep getting more and more. The bugs got ya bad. Just curious. Why isn't the breeder caring for them?

 

[Levi the Leopard]

Barb, my personal total is only 5. The others I only have for the first few months until they are ready to be sold.

Another batch of eggs is due to hatch any day so I'll have more fresh hatchlings to head start soon!

 

[wellington]

Hahaha, I am counting on you not wanting to see them all go. So, I figured maybe another two or three will stay with you. Besides, after five, what's a few more

Cute little guys!

Thanks all.

My friend has the adults who bred and she incubated the eggs. She is passing them to me as they hatch.

It doesn't take any skill to watch an egg in the incubator. The challenges start once they break out. Ah Grasshopper - You will quickly learn the ways of the hatchlings...
