Baby updates

Postby Susann » Sun May 26, 2013 9:09 pm

I'm really not going to post daily pictures of all of them, no worries, but when I do updates I thought I'd just stick them all in one thread.
Update for today;
Sunday May 26
Today everyone, except for Tiny, has pooped. Just checking that off the list :D

Well, I just want to remind both him and you (and whoever else is thinking of maybe getting one) that I will not decide if I'm keeping any of them until after the first shed.
But, yes, if this little guy ends with ML then he will be pretty lucky! Dakota is already a stunning looking skink.
All of them except for Tiny show a lot of yellow, it just does not show in the pictures. I think Austin and Rio will be quite stunning too. And if Kentucky and Nevada aren't as colorful yet they sure make up for it in personality!
They are all super sweet!

Instead of the High-Reds, do you think they will turn out to be one of those High-Yellows?

I hope you can breed again in the future.. :love:

It's impossible to say, but you know, many of these babies look very similar to the way Xyla's babies looked at just a few days old, so I'm not counting anything out yet.
This is #3 of Xyla's:

And this is #5 of Xyla's:

I noticed the the High-Red didn't look like so when babies.. very excited to see what they morph into.. at what age are you going to let these go?

I will make a decision if I'm going to keep any after they shed again, so whenever that is, immediately following my decision the ones for sale will be put up on the Classifieds page. I promise to post here when they are for sale. :D

Comparing these babies to last year's, I can easily imagine both Austin and Rio turning out pretty colorful, but we shall all have to wait and see.

That's good, because one out of Iceman's litter is the mother to these guys. :)

Looking at the last litter, the babies do look a lot different compared to when they were first born.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23058

So we really have no idea how they will look other than banding.

I guess you really shouldn't have any holdbacks then :P
