I saw the first head on day 58, it was a 100% hatch rate and there were 7 of them, I thought there might have been a few eggs more hidden under the ones I could see but still my guess of about ten was pretty good.
I had just got home from a friends place where we had been celebrating Christmas and found all 7 had left the nesting box and were now exploring the enclosure.
These eggs were maternally incubated, my female is a great mother :)

This is a pic of the click-clacks that I have them in, they are a tub with perspex dividers, The dividers are all removable so should I want to remove them in the future I can, credits go to my awesome dad, who designed them and helped my build them,
Cheers
 
congrats on the babies :)
beautiful little jungles Thanks for sharing :)

alos when you let the mother maternally incubate do you use a heatlamp? or just let it do her thing??

I had the heat lamp on, but as the nesting box was a styro box, I had to have it at 37C as that was the only way to get it up to 32c in the nesting box, however in the end I put the heat lamp at 33-34C and left it to how warm the day was and the female to add any extra heat.
From there the only thing I added was a spray of water every few days to get the humidity up.
During the incubation period the female would come out in the morning, warm up on heat lamp, when ever I saw her out I would spray a bit of water on top of the nesting box (which was hanging at the top of the enclosure) which was always drank and then I would spray on some more as she was always very thirsty.
