:D

This little bugger is the progeny of my Tiger male x Rust/Orange Flame female.

Still waiting on the other one to hatch, so I can get my butt to bed.

BTW, sorry about the pics. I had to grab it and shoot, so I left the flash on...so no fancy lighting for these. :rolleyes:

Thanks guys. The other one never pipped, so I opened the egg and found a deformed baby. I'm having no luck getting my viable hatch rate over 50%. On the good side, the ones that have hatched have all been different pattern phases, so I am getting animals that will help me to further the selective breeding process.

ouch, that's tough. There are tons of ways to get a better hatch rate, anywhere from picking up some older animals for your stock to different incubation techniques ... anyway, I hope your luck improves. :)

They've all been from my females' first and second clutches, so I didn't expect a very good hatch rate anyway. I'm pretty sure that's all it is, as all of the hatchlings have been fairly small anyway.
