Several eggs were unfertilized and on 09.10.2019 only 33 eggs were still in good condition. The rest of the babies are on the way, some of them have already broken their eggshells. After all babies hatch, we will make a proper report in the framework of Responsible Herpetoculture with BION Terrarium Center.
