feet at that time - 13 eggs, all hatched, 50/50 female/male.
Hatchlings get fed once or twice a month and grow to 24-28 inches
in 12 months (they are San Antonio stock)- hatchlings hibernate
for 3-4 months, and turn completely black in about two years.
All are kept at 70-75 degrees with an 85 degree hotspot for six hours a day. Mostly, I leave them alone and they're fine
Skipped breeding them a second time - other stuff came up + I didnt want to spend time dealing with eggs and babies
