Well our hatchlings are growing relatively well so thought I'd give a proper update as it was weighing night yesterday- I'm UK so it is officially the 8th of September now, they were weighed on the 7th.
A little worried about the weights of some of them but I've noticed not everyone is eating the same amount so not in panic mode yet.
I couldn't decide whether to do them by pairing or by order of hatching. I went for by pairing lol.
Dam: Zara- Hypo Tangerine het Tremper 50% poss het Eclipse.
Sire: Zeu- RAPTOr 50% poss het Blizzard.
We've had six hatchlings from this pair, all looking healthy as could be!
Zara has been bred to the same male for two years, she still hasn't proven to be het Eclipse but we have four more eggs from her this season. Just curious as to when I stop putting "50% poss het Eclipse" haha!
Hatchling #1- Tangerine Reverse Stripe? Or Tangerine Hypo? The spotting would say Hypo to me but the striping says Reverse Stripe. I'm waiting to see if that disappears as it grows though. This little one is taming down brilliantly and already allows me to pick it up freely with no struggles.
Age & Weight: 5 weeks old, 14 grams.
Hatchling #2- Hypo Tangerine. This little one really does not like being picked up. It had started improving and was getting better until tonight when it decided that my finger looked tasty and took a nice big bite at it. Didn't even break the skin and I laughed but either way, not the behaviour I was hoping for really.
Age & Weight: 4 weeks & 5 days old, 9 grams.
Hatchling #3- Tangerine Jungle Tremper Albino. Still a way to go in the handling department but not too bad. Still lunges occasionally but not nearly as much as it used to. Entering a shed cycle in the photo.
Age & Weight: 2 weeks & 4 days old, 5 grams.
Hatchling #4- Tangerine Tremper Reverse Stripe? Still seeing how this one grows up really... Same sort of behaviour as it's clutchmate above with regards to handling.
Age & Weight: 2 weeks & 3 days old, 6 grams.
Hatchling #5- Tremper Albino. A very calm(so far) little gecko, did have a scream but calmed down fairly quickly while being moved to it's tub. Not too bothered by me when I go near the tub now. Hope that kind of attitude carries on!
Age & Weight: 2 days old, 3 grams.
Hatchling #6- Jungle Tremper(poss Tang looking at it). Not a nice little gecko haha! So much screaming and lunging in the short contact(from incubator to tub)! In case you didn't guess- That is not this geckos egg lol. This little one managed to squeeze under the divider separating Zara's eggs and Persephone's last remaining egg.
Age & Weight: A few hours old, 3 grams.
Dam: Persephone- Diablo Blanco.
Sire: Zeus- RAPTOr 50% poss het Blizzard.
Still not proven the het Blizzard in Zeus with this pairing but so far we've only had two hatchlings from them. Four eggs survived in total. One produced a very badly malformed hatchling that unfortunately did not make it. The clutchmate is doing well and eating finally! The third egg started hatching, but I unfortunately found it D.I.E the next time I checked on it. I couldn't see the colour very well but it looked very, very small to be hatching. Much smaller than our other hatchlings.
So we have one sole survivor from this pair so far, with one more egg due to hatch any day now.
Hatchling #1- RAPTOr het Blizzard. This little one took a while to get started hence the small size but now it is eating, albeit small amounts infrequently but it's better than nothing! Personality wise seems to be pretty calm if you let it come to you, if you pick it up it freaks out a bit.
Age & Weight: 4 weeks & 4 days old, 6 grams.
Dam: Seraphine- Ember 50% poss het Blizzard.
Sire: Zeus- RAPTOr 50% poss het Blizzard.
As above, yet to prove Zeus out and haven't proved Seraphine out with this pairing. Only 2 out of her 5 healthy eggs survived to hatching, both little screamers with big attitudes!
Hatchling #1- RAPTOr het Murphy Patternless~ And possibly het Blizzard, unsure of the percentage right now... A real trouble maker! Such big lungs for such a little gecko! And it definitely likes to let you know too!
Age & Weight: 1 week & 4 days old, 4 grams.
Hatchling #2- RAPTOr het Murphy Patternless~ And possibly het Blizzard, as above- Unsure of the percentage. Another screamer, and biter, and lunger, and anything to do with trying to scare you away lol. Scream, lunge, bite, scream some more, a few more lunges, another bite and then more screaming is usually how it goes with this one.
Age & Weight: 1 week & 2 days old, 3 grams.
Long post is long... Very long... I'll end it now before I ramble on too much(as if I haven't already!)
Thanks for reading.
