Default Baby sikorae

Figured I would share my two newest additions, they just hatched yesterday morning. Three more clutches cooking, the next due to hatch in a few weeks, so curious if those will come out looking similar to these (just like dad).

After shed (has a slight kinked tail at the base it looks like, wondering if it's just developmental?)





Before shed (the little guy with less white is still working on getting his shed off, I'll take new pics of him once he does)





and Dad

My understanding is that they sometimes hatch out with crooked tails like that and it stays that way, but I've never had one like that so can't comment from experience.

They look great though, big congrats!

Thanks

I'm wondering since he is the bigger of the two, if his tail just grew at a funny angle in the egg? It seems less bent than yesterday, it was practically sideways, but still at a bit of an angle. The other thing I was wondering, I've noticed a lot of peoples baby sikorae have red stripes down their backs, is that a juvenile thing? I don't see a heck of a lot red striped adults running around, so maybe it fades away as they get older?

Thank you Armen

Nibbler (his new name) finished shedding last night, and I took some pics this morning. It looks like they ate 5 small crickets, and both pooped, so far so good Kinky's tail is still pretty sideways, but his coloring makes up for it heh.

Those are both awesome little hatchlings. The coloration and pattern are superb. I love the red streaked ones, and the fact that they also have the "pied" shoulder blades is quite the bonus. Very nice! I hope they do well for you!

Thank you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they do ok.

The next ones are due to hatch in about 15 days, can't wait to see what those look like, and another clutch 17 days after that (my female is very prolific >.<). I'll post pics of the other babies as they hatch.
