Bredli are hatching
I came home yesterday morning to find several of the bredli had pipped. I was relieved to find them starting to hatch a few days early.
I’ll be leaving for Daytona on Thursday and they were actually due to hatch while I was to be gone. I really didn’t like the idea of them hatching and potentially being left in the incubator on the vermiculite for several days unattended.
They seem to be doing very well though, no yolk sacs or kinks, or any other observable problems.
This was my first year successfully reproducing the bredli after failing for the last two seasons, so this clutch was my most anticipated this season. Few things are better than reproducing a species for the first time regardless of what it is.
Here are some pictures of the clutch and the ones that have left the egg so far. Click the thumbnails for a larger picture.
