I've called him 'Buddha' until he goes to his new home Most of last years babies have a Chinese theme so I thought I'd carry it on

Here are a few pics:

They are gorgeous , both of them. It's not till you get a new lot that you realise how last years have grown and they are growing beautifully Josh - well done.

It's also funny how they change colour as well. All my hatchlings all look near enough the same now. They didn't when they hatched.

I'll be interested to see how my little partly hypomelanistic baby turns out as it grows. I'm thinking darker but we will see.

Thanks guys Jackson (last years baby) looks very colourful & wet on this picture but he was so muddy I had to give him a rinse under the warm tap <G>

I'm too scared to take the nail varnish dots off last year's babies in case I can't tell them apart <G> Irwin is easy as he is the biggest & choi too as he is the smallest. Jackson & Ying look the same!

Sue, you'll have to post a new pic of little bobble for us, I keep meaning to show my Sister.

Ahh he is adorable

LOL - OK will put it on photobucket now. Just remember I didn't name her. I have to call it 'her' as instructed by bossy boots Holly

Here is Bobble when she hatched with huge yolk sac. A very poor quality pic but gives an idea of the early hatching, in fact it was over 70 days so very odd.

This is her when the yolk sac had been absorbed. Had her head been the same colour she may have been a hypomelanistic baby. Her new growth may be normal colouration.


This shows the difference from normal colouration in her siblings.
