This little girl just hatched ~pic heavy

[Loui1203]

She is a mac snow x high yellow, hatch date 5/1/11. She is my first hatchling ever! It's going to be hard giving her up. Her set up consits of a 6.5 QT shoebox with a small rock hide on the warm end, a small plastic container filled with a thin layer of vermiculite on the cool side and a bottle cap with water. I misted her enclosure and the heating pad is under 1/4 of the shoebox keeping the warm side at about 89 degrees. Sound good?

Pretty! I wouldn't give up my first hatchling ever. And such a nice one! :main_thumbsup: I still have my very first leo :main_yes: Cool that you caught her crawling out of the egg. She had quite a dirty face

Thanks!
She really suprised me, i wasn't expecting her for a week or so. I can't believe she turned out flawless because of a few crazy temperature fluctuations she endured in a homemade incubator. It looks like she has eyelids right? I have yet to see her with her eyes closed. Her eyes were wide open while she was hatching..

Congrats!

You can gently tough the eyelid area to see if she can close them.

Thanks. I caught her with them halfway closed and they don't look abnormal. If i still have any doubts in a day or two i'll try that trick. =]
