Philbyi eggs

Well my Philbyi laid a clutch of 10 eggs almost 2 weeks ago. One was damaged while nesting and one was infertile. The remaining 8 are looking good still. This breeding was from a young wc pair I picked up from Lindsay Pike last year. Brumation was exactly like you would do for ornates. They came through the brumation incredibly well not loosing more than a few grams of weight. I am pretty excited about it as I am not sure any one has produced these guys yet. She was a good mom and nested perfectly, burrowing and covering them up just like I hoped she would do.

I have to say these philbyi have been the most incredible lizards I have ever owned. After settling in they were completely tame and soon excepted food right out of my hand. Now it seems that is their prefered way to eat. If I stick my hand in the with food they come running.

Hay Tom,

How did the Philbyi eggs do? Did you hatch any?

Hey Troy I lost one about 2-3 weeks in but the remaining 7 look good at about 45 days in now. So we will have to see what happens.
