Dan, my sample size is small for sure with having only ever seen about 15 of these guys but what I notice is an almost champagne brownish ground with nice distinct black pattern. The hatchlings are similar to the adults but some have very faint light halos around the anterior broken dashes.
I generally never even try to feed hatchlings out of the eggs however my excitement over these hatchlings got the best of me and I put rat pinks in with them at about 1-2 days post hatching. To my surprise most of them ate immediately!
A friend of mine in Guatemala confided in me that once he saw a road kill gibsoni that he describes as being quite orange. Who knows, maybe I will get lucky!
