Leo babies.....

Here are our current hatchlings so far this season...







and just out of the incubator...




biggest hatchling so far as his tub mate there is just over a week old and he dwarves her by comparison

Well done on the latest arrivals, liking that second one and the big lad.

Gorgeous babas!

Are they little nutjobs? Our hatchlings so far this yr are crazy - come straight over to my hand to attack it!

Yep, lol....my young lad calls them all "his little raptors" cos they charge you with their tails curled in the air, screeching and with no fear of having a bite while they're at it !!!!

Haha! I find myself jumping back from them and then wondering what the heck I am doing!! Soo hilarious

I will never tire of baby leos :)

Great little chaps! How do you know what they are going to turn into at this stage?
Waiting for our first hatchings in another week or so.

To be honest I dont, lol....mainly guess work though I think it's safe to say pics 1 & 3 are going to be sunglows, possibly tangerine sunglows

Stunning.......for things with legs

These are all we have at mo, sorry for hogging thread but want to show them off and can't be bothered starting a new one!

We have a few of these. Know they're mack snow het albinos, as dad is a super mack snow tremper albino!





Will hopefully get a bit of variety soon :)

Sweet little ones Lisa, I'd be interested in a couple of females once they're old enough to sex

On a roll here,lol....





another big bruiser born today

Our temperature sexing has always been 100% accurate - I know it's never completely guaranteed, but everything I've ever bought as temperature sexed has always been dead on also. I find the incubation period is a good indicator also - these hatched at 42 days so I'm pretty much certain they are males, which is what these few were incubated for as a friend wanted males all the rest will be females though.

I've found that with waiting to visually sex, you can obviously tell males as soon as the visual signs appear. But we had a 'female' last yr that completely looked female up until she was 8 months old and started to become visually distinguishable as a male! I don't think you can be 100% with visually sexing females until they are almost a year old, but you have a very good chance of getting it right with temp sexing. Unless you are incubating for a mix of course

Ps - the new additions are gorgeous!

Fingers crossed these are all incubated female here but time will tell....

Know what you mean as 2 of our "females" bought last year ended up being males, lol

Bad luck!

Our females have generally taken well over 50 days to hatch, males much less.

@Buddy, the leo in the first picture on this thread is amazing and I reallly want one now :P
@Lisa, those leos are so cute, I want one of those too lol

The last two to hatch here...



both hatched at exactly the same time from two eggs that were attached together since laying and have almost identical patterns

STUNNING LITTLE BABIES

Nice little Leos Buddy and that's really weird isn't it. I wonder if they set each other off when hatching due to being more aware what's going on next door as apposed to unattached eggs but obviously that doesn't explain their patterns lol
