Here are pics of the twins and their clutch mate that pipped two days after they did:





The twins are doing fine, they drink water but no food as yet. They will be kept in the incubator for a long while yet. All the other hatchlings that pipped before and since them are noticeably bigger. They do not move too much. Here are the twins:




Here are the "found" clutch so no idea who their mummy may be, but very nice color throughout the three:






Rambutan's Trio. It is amazing the variation amongst the hatchlings. If I didn't mark and harvest the eggs myself and see them hatch I would not have pegged the one as being a clutch mate to the two. Them being good:


Them misbehaving:

You certainly have had an awesome year and it's still early in the season. That tiny twin is so cute. Just can't stop saying how much I love those legs! Simply stunning and one you just want to have and then just sit back and look at.

Very interesting colours - first half was chocolaty, the second half are bright! I want them both...

Never even noticed that but you are right! Most of the hatchlings came out orang-ish this year. I think my orange male got around!
