I expected a late hatch as I've had some lower bator temps this round- but out of 40 eggs, 16 were "duds" (new male, not sure of his 'aim' lol) and as of this morning I have 12 that have hatched and are SO active and hopping around exploring!
I can't wait to see how many I get- but 12 strong ones out of 24 viable gives me a 50% hatch rate so far, and today is day 17
I'm uploading some photos now- was too excited to wait to post up!
