My eggs hatched Saturday. Unfortunately I was away on business so I wasn't able to catch them in the act. Here's a group shot.

Here's a baby with a ruler. As you can see it's about 4 inches long. How do they fit all that tail in those itty bitty eggs

Here's a close up of one of the babies.

Here's a pic of one of the babies with Red for a size comparison (the babies aren't hers). The photo quality is pretty poor (which is why I made the image so small). They baby didn't give me much time to focus, because as soon as it saw Red it paniced. I can't say that I blame it

Here's a pic of Red next to a 15 inch ruler to give you an idea of how big she is.

Nice clutch, mine came out much redder, but only 9 out of 26 eggs.

I had 15 out of 15 hatch. Mom wasn't very red and who knows about dad. I'm thinking of holding onto them for a while to see what their colors are like. Bellow is a picture of mom (I know I've posted it before). Do you have any pics of your babies?

Yeh I've got pics, I'll post them Mon-laborday if I can remember. Those things won't loose that baby pattern for around a year.

I know, but after a few sheds you can usually tell if they have potential, at least as far as red coloration is concerned. I'm looking forward to seeing your babies if they are already showing color, they should be awesome adults.
