Some of our Hatchling and Juvie Phants

[StickyToes]

I took some time to take a few pics today of the younger hatchlings and juvies as promised.
This little guy just hatched out 2 days ago and has awesome coloration!

This little girl is amazing! She has an almost pure white/gray body with no spotting and only a very little amount of brown patterning at the base of the tail.

This one's pattern on her tail is symmetrical, just like mom!

Gorgeous 2 day old red boy.

Our first phant hatchling of 2006.

2 girls from last season.

We also have 2 males from last season that we are hanging onto until we sort out which ones we want to keep for ourselves. Both of them are about to shed though, so pics of them will have to wait.
Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
This is one of the most amazing species to work with and I hope that everyone who loves geckos gives them a shot! 8)
There will be plenty more pics in the future I'm sure! :wink:

great pics! do the colors change as they grow like a crested does or do the colors stay true?

We've found that the colors tend to stay pretty true as they get older, with the only exceptions being the "lichen" spotting and white "frosting". The spotting tends to get more intense as they get older, whereas the white "frosting" that we see on the hatchlings will fade with age. Other then that though the background colors don't change very much.
