Default Argus Monitor clutch

My heavily gravid female argus monitor has at last laid , she is still only a fairly young girl and this is her first real clutch

altogether 13 egg's with just 1 that appeared dented and deflated/infertile
the other 12 look to be good

Ahh yes yours should be pipping/hatching soon mate

Argus take 150 to 180 days (anytime around there)

Christ that is a wait. I read Ackies should be up to the 100 day mark but mine went for just under 4 months.

Wish you the best with them although i doubt they're your first.

Nice to find this thread whilst browing for Argus information, since I just PMed you about putting me on the 'list' for a hatchling!



So I assume she laid a second clutch if you have 28 eggs cooking now?
