the first little baby is pretty crooked, with lots of brown coloring. They're both cutie pies.

Noticed same here as Yvonne. Not sure which version I like better.
Does the crookedness usually straighten out as they grow?
Either way they are both adorable

David ....Normally the marbled plastron shows very early on Cherry Heads. But those colors too can fluctuate from dark -tan ect.
