Here are some updated pics of the clutch mates:


Here are the two red hatchlings. Their daddy is the amazing male and they were the best behaved:








Here are the four clutch mates with the brown hatchling:


This group has some of the lightest markings for cherries. I know they are full cherries as Biloxi has never been exposed to anything but cherry males.



Brown one may start marbling:


The littlest clutch mate is already starting to marble. The other two show no signs of marbling:



And here are two of the Rambutan clutch mates. Amazing the diversity within the clutch the second guy hatched out yesterday:

~~Hatching tortoise eggs are just like open a box of chocolate~~

Is that the famous phrase from that movie???

One of my favorite things to witness, a highly diverse group of clutch mates

Nice work Landlady. They also look to be pretty big as well.
I agree in that the genetics are a puzzle.

Love the contrast in those two clutch mates! Rambutan continues to pump out incredible babies... so impressed by that tortoise!

I wonder if those really are big babies or if Allegra's purportedly small hands are skewing our perception :p
