    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.

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)
 
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

i'll keep you posted. Wcked, the only way I'd probably ship is if someone would buy the whole lot of them. I'm not exactly sure how to ship, nor am i fedex certified, so I'm assuming i'd need to use shipyourreptiles.com, set up a pick up time, etc etc etc. you'd probably pay just as much shipping costs as you would on the animals and there would be no guarentees on live arrivals since they are hatchlings and I've never done this before. I just do not think it is worth the time, the possible safety of such small babies getting shipped in this heat, and the money involved.

i still have 5 eggs left to hatch too. they were laid very late by the living female and I didn't know they were in her enclosure until I was changing the soil out. they were half the size of the indoor incubated ones (undertank heater/rubbermaid/most vermiculite, nothin fancy).
