Well, after approximately 3 months of waiting, my patience has finally paid off. Today (like every other days) i awoke and went straight to my closet to mist my 4 clutches of brev eggs. It was a delightful surprise to see a set of tiny eyes observing me as i was about to perform my morning routine.
It was a baby brev! This particular little guy hatched from a single egg that was reared by one of my female brevs. Because this female only laid one egg, i was concerned that it may not have been fertile. However, despite my skepticism, i decided to think optimistic and treat the little egg as if though it were fertile. Luckily, my optimism paid off. After about a month, i could tell that the egg was fertile and healthy. Tiny veins began to appear around the egg and it took on a grayish hue. The final month was crucial but in the end, my diligence and patience produced a "tic-tac- size" miracle! Thanks to those who made this possible by giving me vital advice and tolerating my impatience! Here he is, baby Sheldon! Thanks again guys and Gals, and wish me the same luck with my other 3 clutches! I also know that it must be nearly impossible to sex brev's at this age, but based on my observations, i think he is a male. Am i right, or just over-observant?
