Found these little guys starting to pop out Wednesday night on what was the 46th day since lay/incubation.

Hatching begins

A few of the first lil guys

Last 2 eggs, since first clutch not sure if the browning means their slugs (started developing Thursday on the right one, yesterday on the left)

Not bad 12/14 for her first clutch and first use of makeshift incubator. Also shes got another clutch ready to be dropped any day from looks of things .

Fantastic mate, Thats what its all about.
If your animals breed in captivity, they are happy. If they are happy, your looking after them right.
Well done.

Congrats,

Id pip the last two. Its hard with eggs that small so use a pair of tweasers to pinch the egg and a pair of nail scissors to cut along the length of the egg.

If no response after about 6 hrs then they go in the bin. Its fairly normal to loose a few in a clutch especially for a young female or first clutch.
