Checkered babies

[Spankenstyne]

Last night I was fortunate enough to catch my big girl drop some wee ones. 11 nice little wigglers & it just never gets old seeing them being born. This was my albino female bred to my hypo het albino male. My last litter had a couple of hypo babies, this one appears to only have one hypo looking baby. I'll try to post better comparison shots to show the difference once they're more settled in & eating and all that.

Just wanted to share a few quick shots

Here's the one hypo looking baby. Bad shot with excessive flash but this one is a lot lighter green than the rest.

This is going to sound nuts but do all checkered's have high gloss scales like yours?

congrats

Thanks folks. They all look healthy so far & only one was a runt. I split it off into it's own enclosure to keep a closer eye on it and make sure it gets feeding.

Wow, good haul on the albinos.

Cograts! I agree seeing them born never gets old and it's exciting, thanks for sharing the photos, they're cute little buggers.

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I'm going out of town tomorrow for 3-4 days. Knowing my luck, that's when my red stripe ordinoides girl will pop. She's getting very close.

I hadn't noticed mine being particularly shiny, but looking now they do seem to have a shine to them. Nothing excessive though, I wouldn't call them high gloss just normal healthy looking scales to me. Might be the photos making them look that way too. The heads are pretty shiny though
