I was misting my garg cage last night and noticed that one of them looked smaller than usual. I mean REALLY small. Surprised to find out it was a new hatchling lounging around on the liana wood. I guess I missed an egg a few months ago!

I'll get pictures up when I can. Much as I'd like to do it, it's tedious taking the picture, emailing it from my phone to my computer, putting it up on photobucket and inserting it into the thread. I'm horribly busy between work, the (too many) geckos and my ceramics. (anyone wanna buy a gecko?)

The new hatchling, I just discovered, did not survive. I noticed last week that something looked odd about it: it had a normal eye on one side and what looked like just a pupil but no iris on the other side. It's jaw looked a bit off too. Tonight I went to take some pictures and it was dead. It had a slit in the upper chest, which I didn't notice before. It was alone in a 6qt tub with a plastic hide, piece of cork bark, water dish and food dish. I have no idea what happened but sad as I am, it does eliminate the problem of what to do with a 1-eyed garg.
