Only the one hatchling so far. I gave the baby to my local reptile store (The Tye Dyed Iguana for those of you near Saint Louis) to raise because my herp space is limited. I'm going to give the other eggs a few more weeks before I excavate them.
Good luck with your female. I didn't do much to incubate the eggs. She laid them near the corner of the cage in jungle mix. I made sure the substrate where she laid was damp and not soaked. Besides temperature regulation, nothing else.

The female laid eggs a few days ago. She is a tank compared to the male.

My female laid her first clutch of four eggs on the 31st of January. She laid them in the corner of my exo terra 12x12x18. It was a several hour ordeal for her to dig, lay, reposition the eggs, and bury. When the mister came on in the evening she drank and drank. The next morning she...
I appreciate the advice. I added more climbing and got a female to go with the male. Added springtails and they must be keeping any fungus down. When I change the substrate, I will add a drainage layer.
