The diamonds have hatched. The maternal incubation went perfectly, and there were even a few surprises.

I recently picked up a herd of Russian Tortoises (Testudo horsfieldi). They are a bundle of awesome.

Hatchling Crocodile Skink

Josh — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:40:59 -0600

The Croc Skink egg I found on September 22nd hatched on Saturday, after 66 days of incubation. I incubated on perlite, at a temperature that fluctuated drastically from high 60s to low 80s, but most of the time it was around 76.

This is by far the earliest clutch I've ever gotten.

Tribolonotus egg!

Josh — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 20:13:53 -0500

I found an egg from the Crocodile Skinks (Tribolonotus gracilis). Because I found it while changing the sphagnum in the laying box, I decided to remove it for artificial incubation. Not sure exactly when it was laid, but hopefully there are more to come.
Here it is along side some Bearded Dragon eggs that I'm incubating for a friend.

Starting Early

Irian Jayas are starting early again this year. This pairing has given me some odd results twice in a row, so I'm anxious to see what they do this time around.

Vacation!

Josh — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:39:41 -0500

I'll be away from the 20th to the 26th. If you email me, I probably won't get back to you before I return. I will be available by phone (207.577.2523) sporadically.
Hopefully I'll return with Smoky Mountain herping pictures. If so, they'll be posted here!
