Here they are all 12 of them in separate photos.

I had to evict the last 4 babies from their egg today as they were loitering in their egg a little too long. They are all doing well and are pretty amazing little chubster's. There are some amazing black heads in the clutch! Over all I'm very happy with this clutch. Now on to feeding soon.

I'm a bit new to bloods so bear with me - I notice you have some with very light heads and some with very dark heads (like the near black-headed one in the upper portion of the first picture). Do you anticipate any differences in adult coloration based on the way they look as babies?

Hey!
Yes! in my experience the darker heads will be more like the adults, sire and dam, of the clutch, having very dark heads and bodies as they mature. The lighter tan heads, will have a more dark chocolate colored body with darker sand to tan colored heads. All babies will invariably darken as they mature. You will even notice a difference after the first shed, which can take any where up to 4 months. -A

This is my pick of the clutch! He's got a full stripe and a very very dark head (black). -A
