Such a wonderful photo!!!!! It looks like he's peeking out of the hole in the eggshell to decide if he wants to continue hatching or not!!!!!

Neat. The pattern will be different on each one. It eventually fades of course, but enjoy it while it lasts.

Sure I never had a hatchling which keep his hatching color.
I hope they become more red one the head.

Don't worry about the head color. Even the really pretty adults started off as drab neonates.
Feed them brine shrimp or krill occasionally as this will help them express their color potential.

Yes I feed my chrysemys for example this diet and some red sticks for getting intensiv color. It works really well!

They are so cute I want to kiss them to bits. I just love the BIG "little" heads on them compared to the rest of their bodies! AWWWW!!! Gimme!
