Well sadly the eggs didnt work out to well, when the four were laid they was a little dented in by the time i got home and found them and one of them failed after a few days but the other three filled out and went full term.
Yesterday i noticed one of the eggs had little slits in but the egg now had a slight yellow tinge to it so assumed the baby had died so i decided to cut a slit in all the eggs so as not to lose the others( the slits were only made in the outer shell and not through the inner membrane) two of the eggs i saw no movement from inside but did on the third so placed them all as they were back in the incubator. When i got home from work today i have one youngster half emerging from the egg but no change on the other two, when i looked inside there was two full term young dead Sad

Hopefully the only surviving baby will continue to hatch out ok, i dont know what it is about monitors but i do have trouble hatching them out.
Here are a few quick pics.

Thanks Nick, John, Bri, when i just checked on him before locking up he has climbed right back into the egg, obviously today wasnt a good day for him.

Must be heartbreaking. I hope the remaining one gets over it's shyness and emerges all healthy for you. Keep us posted.
