This is Watts, I got to watch her hatch on 7.30.2011. She's already eating and growing now. This is one of the most amazing things I've ever gotten to watch. Shes got a lobster on her head.
Watts is a female leopard gecko. I breed leopard geckos. See https://www.threenotegeckos.com for more information

Yes, very time sensitive. I don't keep exact track of when my babies are going to hatch. I've got the week eggs are supposed to hatch marked down but thats about it. They don't always follow that pattern, usually the first baby in the clutch I find in the morning and then I can incubator stalk the second egg.
Reptile eggs are very soft for the most part, unlike bird eggs that crack. The baby puts a slit or several slits in the egg with the egg tooth to emerge. Babies can take a long time to come out, she started hatching around 11pm and finally emerged around 2:30 am. I was photographing the entire time.
What an amazing little girl! Her markings are beautiful. The lobster mark is so cute! I wonder if she will keep it as she gets older. I hope so!
I have bred and raised Giant Day Geckos myself, but not yet tried with Leopards. My female gecko would lay her clutches inside the planted terrarium, and they would almost always be 'glued' to something. So I couldn't really remove them and incubate them. I just had to keep the temperature and humidity up in the tank and hope for the best.
I had many happy clutches of babies born, and got to catch pictures of my adults breeding ( which for some reason seems more rare to catch with the Day Geckos, so others told me ). Since the eggs were in the terrarium, it was hard to know just when they'd hatch. So normally I found them after they already had hatched and were hiding in the plants.
Huzzah for geckos!
