I had my first 2001 leopard hatch this morning. This guy is bigger than any
leopard hatchling I've ever seen! With any luck, it's a male, which it 'should'
be by incubation temperature.
What really got me though is that there's no egg shell left behind. Not even a
tiny sliver. I sifted through the peatmoss, removed it all with a teaspoon, and
not one piece of shell showed up. This is something new for me. Is it possible
he ate it? Considering he grew up in the shell, it shouldn't be dangerous if
eaten, but I've never heard anything about that before.
I'm assuming it's not a common occurrence?
