Amethyst exotics first season!

I know. This is going to be so hard to tell until they're actually out of their eggs. My male is homo hypo, and my female is not homo or het hypo. (But who knows 100% with hets these days)... I was wondering about the "blue" eyebrows.. If they'd just hurry up now, that'd be great! :)
 
Yay! Mondo-congrats-o! Geeeeez, they sure tortured you in waiting!

I'm really curious what that one partially hatched baby is--I had normals, hypos, and lavenders in my clutch this year, and that baby doesn't look like any of those. One of those pics did look like a lavender, though.

MORE PICS NOW PLEASE

:D
 
For reference, here are my just hatched, pre-shed babies:

Normal (with cool Aztec pattern :) ):

Now more pics of yours! I showed you mine! :laugh:
 
(Oh, and all mine have shed, eaten 4-5 times, and for sale now, though the lavenders are already sold...jusssssst sayin' ;) ... they're posted in the Classifieds forum now.)
 
Haha I saw the rest for sale. I like that stripe!
Thank you so much for these pictures though. I think the pre shed pics will help a lot!
 
Baby #1 is out and weighs 6.6 grams!

Here's some more of the clutch right now. I'm almost convinced those 2 lighter ones ARE lavenders.

Really? Didn't know that! I was planning on keeping at least a pair or a trio! I'll have to clearly label those little ones when they do decide to come out. So far, 8 have pipped. I'm no expert on day old in-egg hatchlings but they all look like normals so far.

Definitely be sure to hold back at least one of those twins, if you are interested in doing that.
A friend of mine has proven multiple times that twins produce more twins (he's had several) and triplets produce more triplets (he hasn't had as many, but has had them)
 
Hopefully they don't all come out overnight and then I can't tell which ones are the twins! I literally just checked them too. Nobody else has come out of their eggs yet.

In that case, I would move the twin egg to another bin, so you are sure which ones are the twins.
 
I did try to move that egg last night, but just couldn't get them apart. But thankfully, I just went to check on them and both twins are out and there are more pippies but no more out of their eggs yet!

I believe they are both lavenders. They are very peachy colored! Mom could be a possible redfactor sunkissed so it's possible that she has passed that down..? The only thing I have really noticed about them so far, is that one is shorter than the other! Does this happen with twins? I'll try to get measurements of their lengths tomorrow.

Baby #2 (the short one)

Baby #3
 
Ahhh... this would make sense. I have been decieved! Baby #3 is not a twin, but that one that's been hanging half way out for a day! Sneaky, #3... sneaky..

It's your turn, little buddy!

This one flicks it's tongue at me a lot..

Next to the twins.
 
So, no twins then?

I think you're right on the Lavender, that was my first guess as well. I haven't worked with Lavender before, though, so I could be wrong. LOL

If mom is RF about half of your babies should be RF.
 
Baby #2 is the twin that's had its head out more. The upside down twin has elected to stay in the egg for now. He's (or she's) actually all the way back inside. "Finally, more room!!" Lol

Baby #3 in better lighting. (Not the twin)
 
No caramel on either side. Dad is 50% het amel, and mom is just het lavender. It's kind of like a lighter orange/peach color. I can't wait until they shed. Then I'll take them outside and get natural lighting pictures.
 
Your lavenders fascinate me--they seem more brown/peach-ish while mine seemed more grey/pink-ish. I'm learning a lot just following!

I realized our clutches have somewhat compatible genetics, too. Danger! Danger! ;)
