Hi everyone, great news, the egg I thought had perished. It collapsed and it blackened. I transferred it into another incubator by itself, to test it. The thermostat must be faulty, as it was set to a temperature of 29°C. But rose to 34°C. The egg was as described above. As soon as I noted the temperature spike I placed it back with the other eggs. I am sure an egg is being pierced by an egg 5ooth and one is now upright. I am unsure if the first one is disturbing its siblings. I am unsure when to take this one outside its incubator, it is very tiny, even for a Pogona Minor. Its not a Dwarf Pogona Minor Minor, But a hybrid of a Barbata Species and a Pogona Minor. all the remaining seven eggs are in pristine condition. I think it is a bad idea to try to make an incubator here in Australia, unless its got a cooling system like the one im using. I was worried that if Ebony's had another clutch, there would be no room. I must try and buy one with a cooling function soon.Thus is the first hatching from Ebony's first clutch of 2020 this season eggs laid 68 days ago hatching. it was 26th September she laid them. I hope to see them all hatch.

Newcomers, they are so gorgeous. Dwarf Pogona Minor X Mitchelli (N.W. Australian the Minor is from SW Western Australia. For some reason in the west they are a Dwarves variety of Pogona Dragons. Tbe species as im sure you are aware hybridise quite easily. They fascinate me. As always, I strongly recommend new stock, to prevent inbreeding of the species. The unusual varieties and their enormous size fascinated me as they have very unusual traits I have not seen in Australia. Very interesting morphs in your land.

Here are some others. Some are different in different ways. That is what I've noticed with my Dwarf Pogona Dragons, some breeds arrive like "throw backs" I have not noticed egg teeth on the side of the jaws until this season
