Our first hybrid baby hatched!

[laurarfl]

Since the mom is Kreacher, my 16yo daughter decided the first baby needs to be named Monster! I know she's bummed because she's at a music camp for another week and is missing our FIRST EVER BABY TEGU!!! Unfortunately she also has the good camera. So all I have is the Blackberry photo.

Anyway, the egg pipped yesterday, but I thought it was too early. I checked on it today and was just getting a bad vibe. I picked it up...no movement, nothing. The egg was collapsing and I didn't want the little guy to dehydrate. I had it in my hand, pondering what to do, when it started moving. The slit grew bigger and the little bugger just popped out of the egg and jumped right out of my hands!!! Holy Cow!

He is so freaking cute!!!!

WOW that is really neat that it jumped right into your hands! That's one way to imprint your little guy and get him use to you huh?
Way to go!

I'm still waiting on the others to hatch. I have two hatchlings and one is already a pig! You can see the chocolate coloration of their legs. When my good camera gets back from camp this weekend, I'll posts pics.
