Well I think my wife is having too much fun with these hatchlings while I am gone on vacation!

Two more hatched today, and not only is she taking pics, she is naming them for me! Here is what she said:

"Ok – here are pictures of Herman and Alfalfa. Herman is older. When I came home and checked on them, Alfalfa was checking out his new surroundings. He is much calmer than the first two. How can I tell? He didn’t thrash and musk me when I picked him up. Four more heads were exposed before I took the cover off the incubator. It scared them so they pulled back in so only their noses were sticking out."

Vicious:

Herman:

Alfalfa:

I will be getting home Saturday night, and it sounds like they will all be out by then.

Thanks for looking!

She has always enjoyed it when they hatch. It is her grand-motherly instincts that are being aroused though. We are expecting our first grandchild in February!
