Deformed Leo

Hi All.

Thanks to those who offered support for my l'il baby who was deformed from birth. He died on Monday, a week after he hatched, in the middle of his first shed. MY guess is that peeling the skin off was too strenuous and he ran out of energy.

I could tell the first time I saw him that he wasn't destined to live too long.

Hopefully he's now in that great humid-hide in the sky ... feasting on crix and waxies and dancing to Jimi Hendrix ... he he he ...

Thanks again everyone.
Joel

PS: 16 eggs left, they all look good ... should start hatching within 10 days, and last ones will hatch in 8 weeks ... keep y'all posted...
