Well, none of the babies made it:( I really don't know what hapened to them. This clutch seemed to be doing great. The eggs shrunk but they never hatched. After almost a week, they started to get harder. I opened them and all but 2 were dead. The other two died shortly after. Will see...
You shouldn't have to wait long (fingers crossed), we have about 18 eggs that are due to hatch any day. The eggs have been shrinking and such for about 6 days, I am not sure if this happened last time as we lost that clutch due to the heat wave, however does anyone else have any experience with...
We are not going to breed her as Ryan stated that she could only go to a home if she would not be bred, she is old, not sure on how old but pretty sure she would not be able to breed, don't want to take the chance. She is just living out the rest of her life in tranquility, she has a male...
Thanks everyone, I can't believe how big they are now, amazing! Checked on the eggs this morning, 15 have shrinkage and look like they may hatch any day.. fingers crossed, hope to have more baby quads any day now!
Here they are after a few months of not taking photos of them, they are not as shy as they used to be, they both in fact will not eat out of my hand and don't normally "spot" or show their stress colors when we are cleaning, or feeding them. These are from Fabian and they are doing very very...
Ryan,
Here are some pics of Lucy, she is a little camera shy and I shot these quick this morning... she is doing well for an old girl, much nicer and easier to handle then we first got her. Thanks again for her as she is a part of our Cham family!
Hey guys, here are two of the babies that we kept from our last clutch, look how big they have gotten, one is definetely a boy as he already has the large fin on the tail and his horns have begun to come in, we think the other is pretty much a girl. These are siblings of little Jet (Laurie)...
I use a combination of moist sand, bark, top soil and vermiculite. Just top soil and sand will work too. If you can keep a large enough lay tub in her cage, do that. If you can't, leave her in the lay bin and leave he alone. She will lay when she is ready.
Good luck
Thanks Laurie, so glad to hear that your eggs are still doing well, cant' wait to see them when they hatch!! Remember to let us know when they do, got to trade those blood lines!!! Keep us on the list!

Thanks Harry, really appreciate it and looking forward to sending some babies your way once they hatch.. will definately keep you all posted on the progress and let you know as soon as they hatch.. can't wait as I miss running home everyday to feed the baby hatchlings.. they sure can eat!! As...
OK I saw the thread and had to post. Yes we are one of the only breeders that I know of right now to breed and have CB quadricornis (unless someone else has them that I havn't met yet). We have found that sometimes even the WC are hard to get your hands on and then you have to deal with...
We breed quadricornis and have kept our 2 females and one male together at times, however the male does need more room then the female and honestly they do very well when the females are separated from the male. Honestly it is better to separate them anyhow because you want the females to get...
IMO, you should only breed them if you are going to house the babies and take care of them yourself. If you are going to breed just to hand them over to a pet shop for a few bucks, then I think you are breding for the wrong reasons.
