First clutch of Silver eyes hatched!

[kenya_1977]

Well, this is the first time I've actually had both eggs of a clutch hatch the same night. There were two very beautiful babies looking at me this morning.

I was surprised to see this oddity at the end of one of their tails:

Congrats on the new silver eyes Crystal! Have any of Marcus' silver eyed babies come out with the white end of the tail thing? It'll be interesting to see how that develops as they grow.

Congrats Cyrstal.Ethan,several of the Silver Eyed hatchlings have that.Out of all the localities,they are the only ones with that.It has been with different pairings too.Very interesting.For some reason the Silver Eyes also hatch out very dark,then color up nicely after a few weeks.

Very nice! Red! All of my normal (no silver eyes) hatchlings hatched with the white tail tip. They were of unknown locality.

: )

Strange,some have and some don't on mine,but honestly I don't look at them much anymore,just make sure they are ok.When you get more than 30 hatchlings going,you get a little preoccupied.

Very nice Crystal! Exciting.

I too have noticed quite a few of my Cameron Highland babies have the white tip on the tail when they hatch. Some more than others. It does seem to go away after a few sheds though. Or rather I look at my 4-5 month old animals and they have normal tails. I am not quite sure when it disaapeared though. I am guessing gradually and that's why I haven't really noticed.

The other baby had patterning much like my non-locality babies. As well as a screaming orange face.

As well as a slight tip of the tail in white.

Sorry for the bad pic.
