1st leo of 2005

It only took 46 days for this gaffer to hatch :)

Dad is a tangerine SHBCT and mom is a SHBCT. I can't wait for the clutchmate to hatch.
(Just excuse the ceramic soil incubation media that's still stuck to him in the pictures).

Congrats Hilde:) What, pray tell, is stuck ontop of his head? I was thinking a water drop from condensation... but with his movement in several pics, i thought it would have been gone...?

Thanks everyone :) :)
I'm tickled pink that they're hatching again. As nice as it is to unplug the incubator in the fall, I have to admit I miss having babies pop out every so often.

It's water, a drop from the deli cup lid fell on him when I opened it up. The picture session only took about a minute or two, so it didn't have a chance to evaporate. Kind of looks like he's got a deformed head, but it's an optical illusion.

Looks like he's taken after the dogs already, doesn't it?
:D

Very amazing pictures, what camera are you using?

[DragnDrop]

The other egg hatched sometime during the night :)
Both leos look so similar, I'm going to have a great time telling them apart.

These were taken with my new digital, Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom. I haven't figured it all out yet, still experimenting to see what does what. It's got a macro down to 1.2 inches/3.1 cm. I still have to get a tripod before I use the fancy stuff, the closeups and zoom really magnify any shaking and jiggling.
