Surprise! Babies!

[Lyzz]

My husband and I have an Asian long-tailed lizard named "Vernon." We've had him for about three months.

This morning, my husband woke up and found a tiny little long-tailed lizard. When we looked around a little more in the cage, we found another unhatched egg. We think that "Vernon" was preggo when we adopted her. I noticed some weird digging behavior last week but didn't even think there was any chance he/she could be pregnant!

Now we have to rename Vernon to a more gender appropriate name.

The baby is SO cute and little - about the size of the tip of my pinkie. I'll post pictures soon.

Anyone else have experience with Asian long-tailed lizards?

Well, you could change "her" name to Verna... good luck with the little ones!

I had some a very long time ago...they were awesome little lizards! I can't wait to see what the babies look like. I was always amazed at what a big sized cricket they could eat without it causing them a problem.

I'm so sad. We found that our surprise baby had passed away this morning. She was fine last night and eating fruit flies. Not sure what we did wrong. Very, very sad.

I am sorry the baby didn't make it. it is actually quite common for that to happen for some reason.

I used to breed them, well try at least. I worked with them for 2 years before giving up. i could not figure out why, but at 6 weeks old the babies would simply be dead for some reason.

Some cute pics though

I have tons more if you want
