It makes you wonder sometimes if we aren't breeding a population of weaklings when you think about it.

This is a post I made last year.

Quote:
A few weeks ago I took out of the incubator a cricket tub in which a few overflow leo eggs were incubating.
This was to remove a newly hatched leo. I forgot to put it back straight away and settled the new baby in it's new housing.
During this I knocked the tub off the viv it was lying on, 4 and a half feet above the floor.
The tub landed upside down with the eggs and vermiculite in a heap.
So I reset the 2 eggs in the vermiculite and put them back in the incubator, expecting the eggs to hatch as in my opinion reptile eggs are very tough and can survive many mishaps.
Today, the first one has hatched, a strong healthy baby leo.
Q.E.D.


The other egg hatched too, perfect baby.

It really does go to show then quite how resilient they are when it comes to it, they obviously have the will to survive Smile
