Abstract. Problems experienced with the incubation and hatching of a clutch of Varanus beccarii
eggs are described. One egg ruptured during incubation, and two eggs contained fully-developed,
dead embryos. One surviving offspring was artificially hatched. Potential causes for these results are
discussed.
