Who's the parents?

[SilverSteno]

I've had hatchlings appearing from two different clutches at about the same time (just days apart) when there has been 3-4 weeks between the females laying clutches but my two females lay at about the same time (just days apart). Both these clutches were incubated together so does this mean that the clutches are more likely to be from different females or is it just that the other eggs developed faster to hatching at the same time?

theres tons of explinations and things for this kind of thing;

how good the mother made the eggs, if the incubator has a warmer spot if they are from the same mum etc the list is a long one

Best thing you can do is to incubate all clutches separately and label them so that you always know whose are whose. I dont think you're likely to find out this time unless the hatchlings are different morphs etc, tho well done for hatching them out

Wasn't possible to do that though the eggs stayed where they were laid until I changed the sand in the vivarium and found them all. I knew the eggs could be incubated in situ so I decided against tearing the vivarium apart looking for eggs when I didn't know where they were laid (different matter when the female let's on as to where she's hidden the eggs). All of the eggs from one of my females were there, the other female I got most of her clutches but she had at least one "missing" clutch that she must have laid in the big nesting site.

No, they do jump through massive earrings though!
