leopard hatchlings

[terrypin]

hi 118 days ago my leopard laid a clutch of 25 eggs ,unfortunately it appeared they were all infertile then about a month ago i noticed 2 had developed so i have waited with baited breath lol until last night one pipped and was out of the egg this morning i left him in the incubator until now and i have just weighed and measured him 39mm and 19grams with very little yolksac remaining his colouring is a little lighter than the 2 i hatched in february and 2 grams heavier than them.i hope the other egg hatches only time will tell.oh forgot to say i have another clutch of 12 eggs laid 31.8.08 no signs of fertility yet.

Terry, How unusual is it to have so many unfertile eggs?

 

[Lil' Tortie]

How sweet.... :shy: How many years had the mama laid eggs, was it her first? Do you know why so many eggs were not fertilized?

this is her first clutch and my other eggs are my other females second clutch ,this is their first year of laying last year was my males first year he was big enough to be sexually active with these females.i must confess i wondered if there was a diapause with leo eggs but this latest clutch has shown signs of fertility in the last couple of days as in chalking up.so maybe he has improved his technicque.
