Rambutan comes through again. This one hatched yesterday. It has orange legs and a yellowish peach cap. Sibling also hatched today and is more of an orange coral color. This is the best when siblings are so different. Four more to go in this clutch.

That baby is beautiful.

I like the really red ones. You've posted some of those in the past.

Are you looking for any color specifically as keepers, or do you look more at pattern? What makes this one a "keeper" compared to all your other perfect gorgeous fantastic ones?

I look for the amount of color and any unusual colors that may arise. This one appears to have both, it won't stick its neck out so I can see how much color is really there. Funny, the red ones are not really my favorites, but I can appreciate how the red really pops against their dark skin.

Well when I move to the South East you can send me all those awful bright red ones!
