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!



first two out - for those who can sex hondos based just on looks - any guesses?


one of these two


next group




last group






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!

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,
