So sorry to hear about the little one...i had real unfortunate luck last year with my baby collards and swore i wouldn't breed again but it seems that my adults have other ideas and the deed was done. I got 7 eggs on wednesday so i will do damndest for them.
Your babies are gorgeous and i wish you all the luck in the world with them x

Thankyou shelley,
I noticed the first picture isnt showing up(well on my machine it isnt),But i actually lost 2 young but it was due to the eggs splitting well before there due date(they were basicaly too premature to survive)So i ended up losing 2 young,

The hatched eggs are all doing fine(8 babies running around)My female has already laid 3 lots of eggs and she is going for a fourth set,It will be really hard to let any go as they are such little caracters.

I wish you all the best with yours and hope everything goes well,Any young captive bred collareds hatched is a real bonus and makes it worth while knowing that there is more about rather than the majority of wild caught we tend to see.

Again goodluck and i eagerly await looking for any pics you may post ,

Oh, such a shame but the remaining ones are a credit to captive breeding. I've got 8 running around in the viv and another 7 cooking, I'm so pleased more people are getting into collared breeding !!

Thanks everyone,I can only put it down as experience now but it still was and is a terrible thing to happen,
I really felt bad when this happened the first time,Then while just checking the eggs and i seen another one had split in the incubator i started to worry that the eggs had been damaged or too weak and while they grew they maybe had become weakened until the point when they just split open.
Luckily after loosing the 2 eggs the rest went on to hatching ok and having 8 lovely babies running around doing well,2 more clutches in the incubator and the female is getting close to laying her fourth set,(i hope thats it as her health is more important than any more young this year)

For anyone that hasnt seen the first pic due to it disappearing,here it is again.

Thanks again for all the kind replies,And goodluck to anyone breeding or thinking of breeding these lovely lizards.
