Oh nice! I can see the "egg tooth" that I recently learned about! XD So does the plastron flatten out after the yolk sac is absorbed?

I love the last picture - his/her face says "I will get you for those nude pics... someday .... you evil human ...."

The plastron can take days-weeks to flatten out. Some have flattened completely already while others are a little slower in their progression

What a nice color variety you have. I particularly like the extra scute and the dark one.

Thanks Yvonne. I have another one hatchling that looks totally different than the rest as well lol. I never expected this much variety from my adults but I'm not complaining. Some scream p.pardalis and others much more babcocki. It'll be interesting to see what the next 3 clutches holds in variety

#7 more variety! This one looks like a dark babcocki with freckles

The spunkyness kicked in overnight! Lol

This baby displays the typically "pardalis yellow" and is very PP in shape. She looks strikingly similar to pure PP babies except lacking the typical double dots on each vertebral scute. I totally dig her

You definitely can't argue with that cuteness.

Hey Byron congratulations on the success. I feel like I'm a little late to the party and missed all the excitement. It looks like the alert feature is not working.

I love the variety that you have and I especially like the dark one.

Do you have anymore pipping?

Thanks bud I was wondering when you were going to show up

I suspect 1 or 2 more to pip relatively soon unless something went wrong. Then we will have to wait another 5 weeks or so for the next clutch to begin

 

[diamondbp]

I'll try to do some individual pics soon but here's a group shot I took today. Check out the big time variety!

 

[MichaelS]

wow...really neat to see the differences between them. It's hard to believe they are clutch mates.

If I hadn't hatched them myself I would have doubts lol. Some are night and day from one another

 

[diamondbp]

Here is an updated shot of the group . You'll see 16 very unique babies and #17 is hatching as we speak. I have about 16-18 left to hatch. Check out the variety of these gems. They are growing incredibly well.

Here is an example of the oldest hatchling at 5 weeks old. Amazing growth

And some shots of when they soak and the poo snakes attack!!

A fresh hatchling next to the 4 week olds to show the growth difference



That's the most PP looking hatchling to date. An absolute beauty

Excellent growth...it looks like they're off to a great start.

This is freckle queen. She has really cool solid black legs with white spurs. She is very very unique
