    Default It hatched!!!!

    Since the mom is Kreacher, my 16yo daughter decided the first baby needs to be named Monster! I know she's bummed because she's at a music camp for another week and is missing our FIRST EVER BABY TEGU!!! Unfortunately she also has the good camera. I took a phone pic but I need to figure out how to get it from my Blackberry to the site.

    Anyway, the egg pipped yesterday, but I thought it was too early. I checked on it today and was just getting a bad vibe. I picked it up...no movement, nothing. The egg was collapsing and I didn't want the little guy to dehydrate. I had it in my hand, pondering what to do, when it started moving. The slit grew bigger and the little bugger just popped out of the egg and jumped right out of my hands!!! Holy Cow!

    He is so freaking cute!!!!

    Awww he is so cute . Congrats Laura on your first little one. I was a very worried about the little one when I first started to read on him not moving. I'm so happy that all turned out well. I can't wait to see some more pictures. Good luck with the rest of them.

    CONGRATS!! It's amazing how they just pop out of the egg!

    Keep an eye on them, they can hatch at any time. If they don't all hatch by day 64 (Sunday?) increase the incubator temp by 4 or 5 degrees and they'll pop like popcorn in a couple of hours.

    Thanks everyone! I'll let you know how the others do as they hatch.

    HM, this is not the little defunct one. That egg hatched but the little guy died and was only halfway out. He was small and pink-ish so I'm thinking maybe he was a week preemie or so.

    I was out of town all day. Nothing hatched but quite a few eggs look ready to go! I'm going to bump the temps up tomorrow morning when I am home all day.

    The little guy is just hiding under the newspaper in his tank. awwww
