Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Hatchling Vields
We had a single baby hatch out on the 13th. It came out of it's shell and is walking around aimlessly. It opened it's eyes twice for a very short period of time so far. Why isn't it opening it's eyes? How can we help this? Or is this normal? We mostly deal with bearded dragons. When should it start to eat pinheads? We grow our own crickets so we have all sizes available.
Thanks for the help in advance!!

What kind of set up do you have the baby in? maybe the babies not warm enough, maybe she is dehydrated? What substrate did you incubate the eggs in, maybe the baby got something in its eyes? How long did this babue take to hatch? Could be an eye deformity?

We have her in a 10 gallon with shelf liner as a substrate. She has vines and fake pothos plants low to the ground so in case she falls down, the fall isn't that far. She has a 40watt bulb for heat on one side of the tank for heat. We mist her enclosure 3-4 times a day until the leaves begin to drip. She was incubated in a mix of vermiculite and perlite. The eggs were laid April 10th. So she hatched out after 7 months and 3 days. She looks perfectly developed from what we can see. The times that she did open her eyes, she looked around curiously. When her eyes came upon us watching her, she looked at us with both eyes. She got dark and flat. So she can see . . . when she wants to at least.

I am on my 6th set of clutches.1 just hatching yesterday and over the weekend. Mine starting eating a couple of days after hatching. My vet is an exotic animal vet and she said this is normal because they have nutrition from the egg for several days.Once the babies warm up in there screened cage their eyes stay open. They are in a 16inch screened cage. You have a basking light for them. Do you have uva/uvb light on them. This is very important because they use it to process calcium. They should eat the pinhead crickets ok. I like feeding mine 1/8 inch crickets. I make sure they are gut loaded with a good recipe

A second baby hatched out today and this one has it's eyes open and walking much better than Bean did. Bean has one eye open now most of the time, so it's an improvement. The second one, Pea, was walking around the egg bin with some of it's yolk still attached. Is this okay? It finally fell/tore off after a while of being dragged around.
We do have an UVA/UVB light on them as well.

The egg yolk does come off by itself. If they are still wet I take a wet paper towel using dechlorinated water or distilled and gently wipe the hatchling off and put him in the cage with his other siblings.Good luck with your babies they are so fun to watch.
