Baby Fire Skinks
Some knew I had several fire skink eggs that I acquired from petco about a month and a half ago. Well they have started to hatch and I have 2 pictures to share.
![]() I was fortunant and caught a baby emerged but not out yet. This is actually the 3rd hatchling as he makes his way into the world. ![]() Here are the first 2 little guys that had hatched overnight. ![]() There are currently 4 of the little guys already out. One egg hasn't hatched, but it has begun to sweat so I suspect within the next hour or 2 I should see some signs of him emerging as well. I will try to grab pictures of everyone later on. The first 2 that had hatched have already started eating, so it appears they are off to a good start. If anyone is wondering, that substrate is coconut bedding similar to bed-a-beast. I got these eggs when I was working at petco and found them in the AM at the beginning of my shift. To protect them, I tossed them in a Beta bowl with some dampened coconut bedding to prevent them from drying out and so I could heat them. I never transferred them from the container or the bedding. They went straight into the incubator. (84 degrees for those that want to know.) Hopefully I will have more pics tonight. |

Very pretty little lizards!
Too bad they don't realize that they owe you their lives!

Re: Baby Fire Skinks
I tried to get more pics, but it doesn't look as if any of them came out very well. (I am not a very good photographer, lol)
I didn't want to stress them out, so I was trying to get pictures in their housing. They thought it was a better idea to just run around manically which made blurry pictures really easy to get. I will try again in a day or two. The last egg hatched last night and the last little guy was waiting for me this morning. |

Re: Baby Fire Skinks
It really is hard to believe that all that critter came from that tiny egg... Makes you think of a clown car with how cramped they must have been.
Very cute little guys Rich, Congrats!
