They all look alike - but hondo babies are so cute!!

From the tangerine by ghost clutch I posted hatching a couple days ago - more pics --
Only one left is his egg - stubborn little fellow - you can see some yolk he is still absorbing - they take their time - took pics last night and he was still relaxing in the egg this morning!

They are really uniform in color and size - even head markings are the same - like the male! Going to be hard to tell these guys apart. Anyway - just had to share a few cute pics - my only hondo clutch this year and I am thrilled with them!

Wow! They look amazing! Really nice tangerines! Hmmm...I think these guys are starting to grow on me. Damn you Jeff, Brian and Mary! lol! :D

[MarcB]

I'm more of a boid person but these look fantastic!..lol...

Wild guess, but you got 3.6 ratio?

Great genetics within these little guys...

[Colonel_SB]

Wow they are all stunners making me wanna buy some :p this ain't good lol

[Will]

[Classic]

Great looking clutch Mary. Congrats. I think i was opposite and no two were alike.

MarcB: Have you been keeping secrets? Your a boid person?
You are the hondo king!

Thanks everyone - Hondos do Rule!

Brian - amazing how your clutch was so diverse - such a great variety there and this one has everyone so similar.

Tim - total of 9 including the one still in his egg (I am guessing he is a male because he is so clean and bright looking).

I am getting to the point where I think I can sex them visually but won't be sure until I have popped them once they have shed - did a few quick pops on the way out of the incubator so know I have at least 2 males, but the females I am never sure on til I have done them one more time. I could almost go by the females being the ones to bite me when I picked them up - neither of the boys did but the ' possible girls' all got me!

With any luck Marc will be right on the ratio because as het anery and hypo, the girls will certainly be more in demand. I will post when I have it confirmed,

[Simon]

Congrats~!

They look awesome!!
Especially with those little faces they have!!

[vanderkm]

Marc was right on in his guess of sex - all have shed and 8/9 have fed so checked sexes again yesterday - three boys, six girls - nice ratio. The first two are males, there is a male in the second group of pics and the last four including the one in the egg were all girls. Definately coming along well - got to love hondos!

what are you feeding your baby hondos Mary pink mice or pink rats , mine are a little slow on the feed two girls have ate on pink rats with a little help and the male just shed the other day will try tomorow on pink mice ,thanks <Paul

[vanderkm]

Mine are on fuzzy mice - they got pinks for the first meal but switched to fuzzies after that. I will move them to pink rats once they shed the next time, but when I have offered pink rats so far they have not been interested.
