She laid 7 days before Metropolis(wilma) did. I would think they would have hatched by now if they were fertile?

I have them and they did hatch.She laid 7 eggs and is a very small lizard. Of the 7 eggs four were fertile and hatched. To date they're the best hybrids I've had or seen. I've been waiting for the right day to take pics and try to capture the color. All have much reduced crossbars almost to the point of not being able to see them without closely looking. Already they have more blue than any others I've had. One at times is almost a solid bluegreen color all over. Today is a perfect sunny day so if I can take the pics and capture the color I'll post some pics. They are definitely worth looking at...thanks

Here are pics of one of the babies produced from the nice Blue pair I have. I waited to late in the day to do it and they were like bullets in the cage. This is the best pic I could get but you can see how the whole body is already fairly blue and their only about 3-4 weeks old....

Here's a pic of the father. He has shed all over his head just about ready to come off which gives it the paler look but his head is BRIGHT BLUE. Also his body is bright blue as well...
