Another couple that I found today.

The photos don't do them justice - they will be very pink when they are older. Note the longitudinal stripes on the hips.

Very nice little babies if I say so myself. :ohyes: :blah:

I was doing so good over the last few months not thinking about blotchies. I had finally stopped spending my free time trying to figure out how to get some right away. Then you had to go and start posting these pictures. I guess it's back to BTS anonymous for me. :|

30 babies this year from 5 mothers. 100% pregnancy rate again this year. Worked out pretty well. Found another 3 babies in the enclosure this morning - could only catch 2 though.

You do realize that you could sell those for $1500 USD each if you could figure out a way to get them here. :hair:

Ouch :-( For what I get for them here, they are not worth my time trying to sell.

I would be quite happy with the ugliest six you have. It just doesn't seem fair that they are all wasted over there where they are so unappreciated!

Here is the last one. Unfortunately my photography in low light doesn't do it any favours. Most who seem them comment that the photos don't do them justice - anyway. The parietal scales are quite reddish etc.
