I'm hoping that between the 5 I'll end up with at least a pair... But we shall have to see :D I have a strong feeling that the larger of the two I have now is female and the smaller male - but, just a feeling really. Danny did take a look and agree with that assumption, so.... I can honestly say he sexed my little Greek at 5 weeks old and was correct.

If I end up with too many males I'll take you up on that, lol ;)

#12 has hatched!!! That's 12 for 12! I've never had a 100% hatch rate ever. Woo Hoo!

Pics will follow as soon as I get a chance. :D

I'll get a nicer pic when I can get them out in the sun. Two thirds of them are already spoken for.

I forgot to mention that all 12 of these hatched out at a very robust 39-41 grams. 32-35 has been the norm for me in the past.

The dark one is spoken for, but they all change pretty quickly. There are at least three still available and I'd be happy to let you come pick them out. I haven't done a for sale post yet because I usually like to hold them until they double their hatching weight. But if you feel like you can handle tiny hatchlings I'll make an exception. I'll PM you.

Wow they look great - 12 for 12! Can't believe how quick they've all been accounted for too. That's amazing work.
