This has been quite the ordeal for me with this hatching.
I bred a couple of wild caught deremensis a while back and everyone I have talked to said they rarely breed in captivity and conditions have to be spot on. I felt good that I accomplished this as I had never bred this species before. I had several deremensis years ago. After about 4 months the female became restless so I set things up for the egg laying. She had complete privacy and didn't eat for days. I found her digging and left her alone other than watering. I found her expired at the bottom of the pot after her in the pot for about 14 hours. She hadn't been dead long. I extracted the eggs and there were 11 large eggs. I set them up in vermiculite at 74 degrees in my Parsonii room which is very humid. The eggs seemed soft compared to panther eggs. My first thought is they are not viable,but I keep them anyway.
14 weeks later I have my first one out and 3 more halfway out. These guys take their time coming out of the eggs like the sloths they are. Anyway check em out!
