2 APTORs hatched today!!

[lytlesnake]

What an awesome find when I checked the incubator this morning! They both have dark eyes. I'm not sure, but they may possibly be RAPTORs. I didn't want to stress them out, so I haven't gotten the greatest pictures of their eyes yet. Their dad (Fred) is a RAPTOR from Steve Sykes Geckos Etc., and their mom is one of my albino het RAPTORs from Kelli, either the stripe (Olive) or the APTOR.

WOW, they look more like RAPTORs! Beautiful babies... congratulations!

I agree with Marcia on that one. Are you sure they don't have red eyes?

I think they are RAPTORs! That was my first thought when I saw them, as their eyes are dark, definitely not green. I'm pretty sure they're red. I'll take some better pictures here in the next few days. I don't want to handle them too much yet. Considering their lineage, it wouldn't be too surprising if they are RAPTORs. I've heard that sometimes their eyes will start out red and turn normal later on, so we'll see. Thanks to everyone for their congratulations. These are only my second and third hatchlings ever, so I'm really happy with the outcome of my breeding efforts so far. Looks like I picked some good breeders.

Thanks guys. Yeah, their eyes look very deep red to me. They look like 2 perfect RAPTORs! I'm so happy I can hardly believe it! I'll get more pics once they start eating, which should be within the next day or so.

Very cool and congrats on the babies!!

 

[lytlesnake]

Thank you! These little ones are doing fantastic, eating and growing very well. I promise I'll post pictures in the next day or two. I'd take some tonight, but I don't like using the flash on geckos, and my camera needs new batteries. They are 2 gorgeous RAPTORs. Both of them have nearly perfect carrot tails with a deep vivid orange color. I've since hatched a third RAPTOR D ) which has a clear/pink tail with a stripe. Hoping for some more soon.

Okay, sorry there's no more pics yet, but I just happened to see that this thread was bumped up, and it's getting late already. I've got another exhausting night of animal feeding ahead of me. See ya later.
