Those are incredible Allegra!
If you had a good camera with a flash those pictures would blow our eyes out of our heads!
Cannot believe the gene pool you're working with.

Further thoughts...it occurred to me that, in that single clutch, you have three neonates that are likely more exceptional than any that I've ever hatched in over 35 years. What's astonishing is that you're working with normal (albeit incredibly nice) adults and not 'morphs' or any kind.
Your insights on selecting breeders to put together speak for themselves. Nice work young lady!

With colors like those, your title is far from "over the top".

You have produced truly remarkable hatchlings, bar none! Hats off to you, lady!

I'm guessing the orange gal/guy is a Rambutan special?

Those are from different clutches. Torts did all the work, I'm just glad to be along for the ride. It was worth posting since you called me "young lady"!

The Lightest one was a Rambutan, the middle colored orange one was a found nest and the red was the Wicked/Squeeze baby.

Holy smokes! Are these your first clutches from those specific pairings? All three are incredible!

Rambutan has thrown awesome high colored orange babies in the past. On average 2-4 of these amazing ones per year. We got two clutches from Wicked-Squeeze last year and two known clutches this year. All nice babies but nothing this spectacular. The third from the wicked-squeeze clutch hatched a few days ago, I should get the three together for a family portrait.
