    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....

Hello Everyone,

This morning I discovered my first leo hatchling in the incubator! I think right now we're sitting around 77 days. I incubated for female at 79F (which I now realise is a couple degrees too low). This little one weighed in at 3.6grams (I'm guessing that's a typical hatchling weight for these guys?). There was no signs of any left over yolk in the egg or attached to the hatchling.

Here is a pic of dad:

Mom is pretty similar, but with more carrot tail. (Sorry, I don't have any pics of her).

Here is the hatchling:

Looks to me to have some jungle possibly? Any guesses?

Thanks for looking!

Congrats! I got so used to looking at an egg, when i saw a gecko in there i was amazed! Congrats again, and good luck herping!
 
Congratulations! That male almost looks like a bold jungle x super hypo or a red stripe x super hypo. Very cool! and that baby wow! definitely a jungle. Keep us updated on that guy.
 
Here's the clutchmate!

Thanks for the input everyone! I purchased both the parents as adults, and neither breeder made mention of any stripe in their backgrounds. Perhaps it's just part of their jungleness? This clutchmate has a more complete stripe on the tail than the first. The black regions also look lighter to me, and already fading out at their edges. Should be interesting to see what happens!

These pics were taken next to my window in hopes for some natural light pictures.

This one was slightly lighter at 3.4 grams.
 
Gorgeous! And, wow, what luck, getting Jungles/Stripes from SHT's!
