    Checkered babies

    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 a size comparison shot:

    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?

    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

    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.
