Wow could it have really happened!? Some of these eggs really did hatch after going threw a fire! As alot of you know I suffered a fire that totally destroyed my entire reptile room and claimed the lives of all of my geckos. I had a big scientific incubator that I had eggs in at the time. After the fire happened I thought there was no way the eggs could still be good, but out of curiousity I pulled them out of the incubator and kept them anyway.

What do ya know... A clutch actually hatched today!!!!

After seeing the 2 little hatchlings, a question arose....

The parents were Rainwater X Hypo Tang Enigma.... Both hatchlings look to be Macks? Im trying to decide if someone miss documented one of the parents and got it confused, or if the extreme changes in temperature could have caused this.... One hatching is an Enigma, the other is not.

This big old prehistoric incubator saved the eggs! Good thing the outside was all metal so it couldnt catch fire. As you can see the temperature gages didnt stand a chance against the fire though :p

I couldn't imagine going through that I would die...

Glad you had some geckos hatch after going through all that! Must be a well insulated incubator. HAHA.

Yeah, I cant believe the incubator was able to protect the eggs, even in the middle of a fire!

There were a good bit of eggs that went bad and molded, but I have hope for a few after seeing this clutch hatch!
