Have some progress today. Three of the hatchlings have actually picked their egg shell in half and are just sitting in the 2 halves. I took some pics with no flash as to not disturb them so they are not the greatest pics but at least you can see 2 of them pretty good, the third one has all four legs out but he dug himself down into the moss.

That is so cute! I did not know that they took so long to hatch out of their eggs. I knew it was slow, but I was thinking in terms of maybe an hour or two. No idea it took so long. You must have so much patience to be able just to watch and not help.:)

The adults are just as colorful but not as bright as they were when they were hatchlings of course. Here's a pic of the female when she was a few months old.

OMG!!! They're gorgeous!!! I don't know HOW you could stand the wait, but it was clearly well worth it! I can only imagine how good you must feel about these babies!
