First ever Baby Day Gecko

[scaleylover]

OMG my heart is racing
came back from kickboxing to find a tiny baby grandis in the incubator

hatched after 52 days of incubation

i really hope the other egg is ok it rolled slightly as i transfered the baby out

Congratulations! We have also had another hatch this morning.

I wouldn't worry about the other egg, it is very likely it is also close to hatching. I would recommend waiting until the hatchling has shed before transfering it to its new tank, it will most likely do this in the first few hours- to a day.

Thank u geckogirl_88, thanks a pretty accurate discription of how i feel

Thanks Andy, hope ur right about the second egg, i'm a nervous wreck. Do u still get nervous and excited or has experience made u more chilled out about it?
how long after the first does the second generally hatch?

[GlasgowGecko]

Thats the million dollar question I'm afraid. Unfortunately it varies quite a lot, I wouldn't expect it to be more than a week though, and it all probablility it will be within the next couple of days.

If you are worried for the future you can pin the eggs in place onto polystyrene (obviously don't puncture them, but a pin either side of the join will keep them still).

I don't generally worry about eggs now, I sometimes get a little impatient, but they will hatch when they're ready...

Congratulations! She's a beauty. I had my first ever gecko eggs hatch recently (cresties), and it is very nerve racking. I am hoping to have my first baby day geckos next season

Awww lovely baby... congratulations

[scaleylover]

Thank u Pono & xautomaticflowersx

i snuck another photo again its not great due to the fact trying not to disturb the cutie currently being refered to as simply 'baby gecko' (must not get attached)

[scaleylover]

The second egg has hatched
the second baby is now fully out although still has bits of its egg shell stuck to it so have dubbed it 'egg'

so we now have 2 baby geckos dubbed 'baby gecko' & 'egg' as we don't want to give them proper names and get too attached to them

my poor OH has only seen my not so good pics as he's away with work so he can't wait to get home on thursday
