Filling in the Queensland record book with natural increase

[jham66]

I was just reading through the guideline book for keeping reptiles on a Rec. Wildlife Licence in Qld.

It states that you add to the total when you remove the eggs from the mother for artificial incubation. Does this seem like counting your herps before they hatch?

I thought you would wait until they'd hatched from the egg....

I just hatched 20 Bredli from 22 eggs and was just trying to figure whether I count the two that died (at pipping... sob!) and then subtract them or just leave them off the record all together.

Just wait till they hatch, in theory that would mean you would have to right 20,000 if you had frogs lay eggs

Funny, they specifically mention frog eggs as an exception......

I ended up doing it as they described. I thought I had a better grasp on the rules than I actually do....
