I'm a daddy, leopard geckos just hatched!! (DUW!!)

There is an old biological theory that in most species, all animals are inherently female, and in more basic classes & orders, that concept would be more prominent. Just a thought, I have no evidence to confirm it, just makes sense to me.

And I've had quite a few more hatch out since. The last two hatched on the 10th. Looking at two more to hatch in the next week.

Ohhh poo - no, I like my theory better! Hey, how about this one: The higher cooking temp destroys the advanced female's brain, turning it into the inferior male & he's then shoved out earlier than the female, who still needs more time developing all her far more complex awesomeness?! Yeah, that's the ticket! Makes perfect sense to me!!!


Very cool news about your expanding gecko family! Congrats!
