Check out the lines and striations on some of my Russian babies. I just think its kind of neat. These are all from different breeders.

I love the colors of the first pic, specially the smaller and the hash marks of the one in the second pic are really nice.

Wow very nice
Thanks all. Anybody have older Russians that still show these kind of lines?
Those Russians are beautiful. 
none of mine do Tom. I know my babies don't have that color, maybe your on to something.

Only a few of mine have these well defined lines. It will be fun to track it and see how they turn out as adults.
Nice. It looks pretty neat.
They look good buddy. Someday you need to share about their housing. (I've been asking for months!)

I would love to see your care sheet too Tom! I really like the dark hash markings as well on the second pic. I'm gonna have to take a look at my adult russians's shell in the morning and see if there's any evidence of similar markings from his younger years
Found a pic on my phone. Nope.

I have these striations in my hatchlings every year. They are gorgeous and to a certain extent do stay for a long time. But most of my adults dont have them nearly as strongly.

Well I can't disagree.
Those are looking amazing, Tom. I look forward to hopefully a whole slew of great pics of your babies!
