I was surprised when I checked the incubator yesterday. I peeked in and one of the eggs laid on 11/20/10 had hatched! I was expecting it to hatch closer to the end of March. I guess the little guy was just growing too fast. :) Here are some pictures.

Here is the hatchling next to one that hatched out three months ago. They are both from the same mother. Their facial markings are very different.

For some reason RF babies look like they are trying to act tough, the way their front legs are, I don't know maybe it is just me, nice pics and tort.

They almost seem like they should have spines, or something.

Like his coloring and over all coloring/markings. Very nice. He hatched early because he was eager to see who the voice belonged to. :cool:
