Thanks people.............

Now that I know the female is het. Amelanistic & there are Butter Motley in the clutch........I am now wondering what dorsal patterns will emerge.

Here is Butter Motley - No 1

Oh my good lord, I dont know which appeals more the carmot het stripe or the most gorgeous wee butter motley

! Congratulations on 2 very exciting hatchlings and the start of the season....only 23 days till the you know whats are due.

....these hatchling pics have made me more excited

Cant wait to see what the rest of the clutch are like and esp these 2 after their first shed!

Congrats Lex, the buttermot is gorgeous. Indeed a fantastic start of the season!!

Well, the dorsal pattern in these guys is far more uniform than I had imagined.

There are only 5 hatchlings out of their eggs at this time, & 8 more slit. Therefore, it's probably 'early days' to come to a conclusion.

However, here are the babes so far:

Number One & Two (Carmot & Butter Motley):

Number Three (Carmot) - with his friend who was choking, so a little intervention was required!

Beautifal caramel and butter motleys. A guy I work with is gong on a trip to Ireland next week. Maybe he can come by and stuff a couple in his carry on bag!

That would be a difficult task nowdays with the Airline security system. However, I trust your friend will enjoy his trip to Ireland never-the-less

Thank you Joni,

We have a count of 11 Carmots & 7 Butter Motley from this clutch........I wonder what Sis. will produce as her clutch is due 6th June.

Ya Layla,

Mr "I can't cut a big enough slit in my egg" was o.k. the moment I utilized a craft knife & a pair of tweezers to release him from his 'tight spot'
