 No, she won't stay with them and this is standard procedure to lay the eggs in a hole and then cover the hole and leave. The babies are on their own when they hatch. It will take 50-60 days, so we are going to watch the hole area to see if we can see them. It is interesting too, that she dug the hole right up next to the stump, where it is less likely the hole will be stepped on.

Poor babies on their own right after they hatch????? How sad....won't they need a mommy to teach them about life and how to survive? I don't think I like this story....

I think you should take a trip down to Gayle's Janet. Those lizards are going to need some TLC when they are born!

I hope I can see them when they come out, but it isn't likely as they have a 10 day window to emerge. I'll watch the hole closely and hopefully, I'll see them when they emerge! Maybe they will stay around the stump for a while and I can see them when they are babies.
