Now that's some really bright red. Any chance they'll hold that shade through adulthood, or will they darken?

Congrats. Those are some beautiful Ackies

They will get redder and better with age. Especially the male.

That's awesome. Wish I had the space for some.

Caught one of them basking and the other peaking out and was able to snatch this pic before both bolted for cover

The camera really washes their color out
