It is really interesting that the first hatchling has such strong designs on its shell compared to the second clutch mate which has a faded "batman" on its scutes. I am still waiting for the third and last one to hatch to really see how strong the genetics worked within this clutch. Enjoy.

Very cute. There looks like a good size difference too. Or is it just the pics?

I don't mean to be rude at all, but you either have small hands or those babies are ginormous!

Wellington, the larger hatchling popped out on Feb 22 and the smaller one on March 3. They grow quickly when they first hatch.
Neal, I have small palms and freakishly long fingers in relation to my palms. Don't worry I have learned to live with my "condition". ;)
Irwin, thanks!

Let us know what you find from that third clutch. As always, you have two beautiful hatchlings there!

Forget the hatchlings...look at the middle finger! You could put a person's eye out from across the street with a finger like that.


OK, just joking. Your hands look normal to me. The hatchlings are nice too.
