Congrats Terry. Great looking clutch. Could you please post some belly pics of the YB's. I have a clutch hatching out as we speak. Its an unproven YB to a normal female. From the tops they look a lot like yours but I would like to see what the new born bellies look like for comparison.

Thanks Jeff

Jeff,hope this helps you out.Terry

Thanks Terry. That should be a huge help. The clutch actually has two dads. The unproven YB and a Spider. First one out is was a normal female. The second one out is the one and only Spider but hopefully a couple that haven't come out yet are YBs.

Way to go Terry! You have had some nice babies this year. Would have been nice if more ivories were there, but at least female heavy! See you next week at the Dixie Reptile show
