Today "Hope", Kasi's newest Crested Gecko, hatched. Here it sleeps, exhausted from it's partial emergence from the egg.
(It would be nice if the gecko and the incubation media were different colors!)

Hope the little thing doesn't need to breath too deeply in there.

Cute little guy. Hard to beleive it was crammed into that egg.

Nature is really something to behold, especially the birth of a new life. 3 to go!!!

Interesting image, Mark.
Is Hope going to have siblings soon?

If you look at the size of the head and how much space it would take up inside the egg it's hard to know where it could fit a body in there!
