    Dave....just the person I was thinking of! On Sunday, another little guy hatched. He's smaller, has a tiny hook on the end of his tail, and is stiff with one back leg. I'm hoping that will work itself out.

    The eggs appear to me to be a different stages of development. There are a few that seem to need another week or so. I'm afraid to bump the temps up for fear of damaging the embryos inside. But right now, the temps are running about 89 in the incubator.

    I thought about tickling them, but I'm afraid of provoking a hatch that isn't "done" yet.

    I forgot what you're using for an incubator? Is it possible the temps could be varying much inside of it? What are you measure the temp with and were are you measuring the temp. I use an Accu-Rite with the probe in the substrate.

    Tickling them is cool. They just pop right out! They're very slippery and move fast, my wife nearly lost 2 last season.

    I made a incubator from a cooler and I'm using ZooMed heating wire for the heat. The probe is a digital number and placed on top of the substrate in one container. It's always been accurate for me and the temps have been stable.

    Yeah, the first one jumped out of my hands. He was so slippery and a lot faster than baby beardies!

    It sounds like you're doing the same thing as I am except I'm using (2) blue 25w light bulbs for heat.

    That reminds me, I need to get the incubator down and set it up!!

    Congrats on your second baby. Hope all is going to turn out well with him/her. I'm a bit lost. Did you mean he just has one back leg ? Or did you mean that he just can use one leg ? Do you have a picture of him/her ? Thank you.

    Thanks, Sam! He has both back legs, but one seems stiff, like it doesn't bend at the knee. I'll just have to wait and see what happens as he grows.

    I'll try to get more pictures tomorrow.
