ok first i have changed their names did so wen i got them ... (Aesop is Purl) now and (Francis is Deisel) .

So on 1/18/12 Purl layed a cluch of 44 eggs !!! under a dresor she likes it has ben two weeks now the eggs still look grate high white and growing just a lil . i have them in a still air incubator at 88 f and around 60 to 75 % humidetie ....
and Roxy is up and eating like a pig looks just like purl did a few weeks befor she layed and Deisel is in tow just like with purl befor she became reaseptive .

Im new to tegu eggs tips sugestions would be helpfull.


and yes purl is a ***** twords the other tegu but still verry good around me . i keep her away frum every one elce at all times now .But she is doing grate eating good drinking good just a lil agresive. but she also caulms right down if i show the eggs to her for just a sec . i think she knowes their safe or sumthing but she likes to be able to check on them once in a wile . funny smart ass lizards

and i plan to get a real nice incubator for the girls eggs befor Roxy lays hopfully. (fingers crosed im doing my best i can )

O and hatch day should be around 3/18 i hope ;)

congrats...when they hatch you will be the first person known to have successfuly bred extreme giants other than bobby hill, also you will put to rest that notion that they cant breed unless they hibernate..

i know they didnt hibernate their 1st year when they were with slideboot, especially purl, deisel did for a few mos. with bobby but didnt go back down after she was with slideboot, your house sounds very exciting with all prospective hatchlings soon to arrive, your heart must be racing with excitement, mines sure would be

Your welcome. It would be so cool to see a video of the candling of the eggs :) . I can't wait to see some photos. I don't want to scare you but I hope the babies will be fine. I'm just worried a bit since no one else breeds extreme giants but Bobby that there will not be a inbreeding problem.

i didnt even think of that, i know they are related because purl is a blizardXsugar and deisel is a iceXhail ( lol yes i remembered their lineage) and ice is a iceXhail as well, good luck with the hatchling im sure they will be fine, i find that messed up, i know about bad sheds, i had a slight bout with my tegus, but in the end i got it all off and realized were i went wrong

Majority of reptiles are inbred at some point or another to gain better color, pattern, etc. I don't think there will be any problems that come from it.

I wouldn't say Bobby has been the only one to breed Extreme Giants since that is just the name he has given High White Chacoan Tegus. I'm sure others have bred them plenty before.

im not saying he is the only breeder im saying he is the only one known for breeding them, idk if you remember but i posted a thread about a guy who had extreme giants in the uk and that was well before bobby even had his pairs, im sure there are others out there but no one has come foward, thus bobby is the only known breeder

the biggest problem would be they would still be related somewhat, your purl and my storm are clutchmates, im sure if i hatched a bluexgiant and you hatched a blueXgiant and we bred them too each other the offspring would be fine though
