Congratulations!! It's a...lizard













Hatching day is here and we're checking the incubator a couple of times each day for new little heads popping out of eggs. The first baby bearded dragon is already out and in a new cage, but three of his friends are still deciding on the best plan of action. Here's a morning shot of the sleeping beauties as well as one shot of the early bird!

Because they are nourished so well by their yolk sac, they may not eat for a couple of days. Then they'll be offered plenty of leafy vegetables, flower petals, and small crickets appropriately named "pinheads". We'll keep them for approximately 4 weeks before finding them happy new homes.
