Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum) laying eggs and hatching at KRZ

[MerkleFred]

What a little beauty! I don't see how you can be so patient. I would be sorely tempted to help the little ones get out of their eggs! How many eggs were laid, how many hatched and how are the hatchlings doing?

[kyreptilezoo]

Three eggs. One hatched and is doing great.

omg how can they be that big inside an egg like that?

[kyreptilezoo]

It's amazing, isn't it? They are curled up inside the egg.

Wonderful experience that we got to share, not many get to see a Heloderma suspectum hatching! How long (in inches) were the baby's at birth? Those looked very large and healthy, which is great! Again thanks, for sharing it with us ~Lee

[kyreptilezoo]

About 6 inches.
