I looked into the grow out incubator and noticed that these two look very similar. It would be a tough decision, red or orange? The light faded out their colors a bit, but you can still see the different shades.

I like the patterning better on the orange one, but I like the redder color on the red one. Nice torts Allegra.

What is a "grow out incubator"? Is that like a bird brooder box? How long do you leave them in there? What temp and humidity? ... maybe you should just do a thread on it.... :)

Why do you say that Carl? Any reason, or just cause you like his looks.

The one on the right has nicely formed scutes on the head with a broad frontal scute (the 'cap'), two nice prefrontals and then largely unbroken scutes over the eyes. It also possesses a fine nasal scute. As the animal grows these features will stand out and make the head more attractive.
But BOTH are very nice hatchlings for sure, its just that one will have a slightly more attractive head.
