Brown Basilisk eggs are hatching!

so cute. nothing too amazing about eggs hatching, EXCEPT these eggs were actually cut out of a dead gravid basilisk who died due to egg-binding. the mother had a tumor on her cloaca, MBD, and other issues. I caught her in the wild from a small invasive population in florida with the medical conditions in early may along with one other female (who is fairly healthy minus a scuffed nose and a broken tail). The female with the medical issues died on may 24th, within half hour of her death I took out the scalpel and extracted the eggs. ALL were fertile and now they are hatching.




these little guys will be for sale after they all hatch and the yolk is gone.

Good Job! Its great to see people breeding these! They have on heck of a story too. To bad for mom though. Great!

Anything can happen with wild caught critters, I managed to make the best of it and get 7 eggs out of her that would have been wasted otherwise.

2nd baby has hatched and a 3rd one is cracking its shell right now.

if anyone is interested in trading or purchasing these guys just let me know! (no shipping though :/ sorry)

if u decide to ship i might be intrested. heres the setup it would go in once big enuf

probably not going to ship any of these guys. its just too hot and they are too little. I'm not fedex certified either.

How many hatchlings did you finally end up with, out of the 7 eggs?

all 7 eggs that i removed from the dead female have hatched and are thriving. in total i've had around 16 or 17 eggs. some of them i've had to discared. there are still 5 more eggs left to hatch (in that number of 16 or 17).

so far I've had all but 2 eggs successfully hatch
