The Yellow-lip Parson's are starting to hatch...

[Virgil1972]

Nice!

 

[BackwaterReptiles]

This morning (11/27) there were two more babies, and one head poking out. So, including the one that's not totally out of the egg, that makes 12 so far...

Here's a closer look of the three Yellow-lips from the above picture. The one in the middle is the one that was partially out of the egg--I helped him out and he was running around about five minutes later.

When she finally laid eggs for me a few weeks after I'd received her, and I called my vendor to let him know the good news, all he said was, "Are you serious????" The disbelief in his voice was palpable. So, I was then convinced it was all just a sales pitch and he didn't really believe she was gravid in the first place. That or he didn't think she'd lay successfully.

There is a huge difference between not believing an animal is gravid and being surprised the animal successfully laid the clutch so soon after import. Surprise can be genuine in both situations.

Did the female survive?

Congratulations!

What do they weigh out of the egg?

 

[BackwaterReptiles]

Did the female survive?

Congratulations!

Thanks much.

I kept the female for 8-9 months after laying, and then sold her to a guy who wanted to breed her. He said she passed about six months later.

Import is so hard on them, especially when they are gravid. Again, congratulations on hatching them. I think that in itself is quite a feat.

11/28 AM update:

I took a peek into the incubator and four more have hatched as of this morning, for a total of 16 so far. I gave the eggs a light misting a couple days ago and it seems to have accelerated hatching somewhat.

@BackwaterReptiles Do you still breed Rudis ( Trioceros sternfeldi )? It's like they disappeared from the pet trade is it still legal to have them?

I haven't seen them on anyone's list (importer or exporter) in some time now. I don't have any at our facility unfortunately.

That Great news @BackwaterReptiles i hope that some reliable breeders will step up to the plate and acquire one for future breeding purposes. Best of luck with them bro...

 

[BackwaterReptiles]

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

We're up to 26 hatchlings as of this morning (Thursday). Haven't lost a baby so far, they're all doing well. We'll see I suppose.

I've been feeding them hydei, melanogaster, and 1/8" crickets. Might experiment with baby roaches in the coming weeks.

Best regards,
Sam

I hope you have not got a problem with me posting these on your thread. However these are some photo's of your pregnant/gravid female Yellow Lip Parsonii (the "Mom") who laid this clutch from one of my past visits to your place. She is very plump! I sent some extra photo's of her to your email.
