nice babies

if i see right, some of the bands on the new hatched babies are already yellow (?).
year ago i got 4 babies of G. hainanensis from one breeder, they were about 3-4 week old and only one of them had some bands yellowish, other babies had only pure white bands. ...they turned yellow about one month later.
does it have something to do with temperature during incubation? (if anyone knows)

YES，when them born，they are already yellow。

Eggs at 26 ℃ to 28 ℃, incubation, spent more than two months time.

I'm very interested in this as well. I have had several clutches hatch with yellow and white bands, with the white bands turning yellow after a couple of weeks. Incubation temps fluctuated at 78 to 81 degrees for all them. I didnt keep good record as to witch eggs came from witch female (just silly of me) but it appears that two with yellow would hatch and then two with white, leading me to conclude that its genetic. Who knows I'm gonna have to keep better records. These guys have been super prolific for me and I'm glad to be working with them.

How rude of me, congratulations on the babies they are beautiful, if your girls are anything like mine you got some more coming they just toss eggs, best of luck.

maybe it is not about genetics, but more about certain level of sex hormones, that can vary between clutches...sort of female´s "investment" into offspring....this may affect sex and also coloration of the progeny
