Thanks I'm real excited. And it turned its clutchmates egg over when it was in the bator will the other egg be ok? and do clutchmates usually hatch the same day?

Okay wow that is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my first hatchling leopard geckos, yesterday, so I know how excited you are

And it turned its clutchmates egg over when it was in the bator will the other egg be ok? and do clutchmates usually hatch the same day?

I really don't know if it will be okay or not. I believe that they hatch either the same day, or pretty close, to the same day.

The egg turning by hatchlings is definitely a problem sometimes.. We had 6 (leopard gecko) eggs in one container (and needless to say we no longer do that!).. but one baby hatched and turned every egg over - 5 eggs total!! only 3 hatched, and one out of the 3 had some problems.. I wish you the best of luck!!!!

Clutchmates can hatch anywhere from around the same time to an extra 5 days! When we had our first hatchling, it's clutchmate took 3 days to hatch and so we were very anxious!

Congrats on your first baby, it's very gorgeous :smitten:

I don't know, I guess they just dig around.. ours that turned over 5 eggs had a little Omega symbol on his head when he was smaller.. he literally was "the end" for two of the eggs! little stinker :p

I think from what I've read it's less of a problem near the end.

They usually hatch near each other, but in rare cases I have had a week difference almost.
