I see a serious need for an Allegra baby fix. Is the first one going to be for sale? :D

So cute!

I hope my two turn out to be a male and female. I'd love to experience redfoot hatchlings!

The first one incubated for 157 days and the second for 146. The one that popped today took 163 days. It is slightly longer than last year, but not noticeably so. I incubate at 83-84F for health and have been seeing 50/50 sex ratio. Here is the one I started the morning with. Another cute colorful butt, and I see a bit of color on the neck as well! Very interesting shell, the scute patterns look like batman, kinda sorta.
