Just born this morning - lepidus
 

I came home this morning to find 3 new additions, neonate mottled rocks.
My first success at reproducing this species. The parents of these have been with me for 2 1/2 years now and were originally wild caught from the Pandale locality a year or so before I got them.

Pretty calm little guys, but of course they're not yet 24 hours old. The sire is pretty fiesty.

One more pic of one alone. I've never seen newborns before. I expect these to lighten up like the parents as they grow.

Here's the mother of the litter.

clay,
what cuties! nothing cuter than a lil neonate rattler, and the little buzzzz. hehehe

Congrats Clay, they are awesome! Mom is pretty nice too....she looks like she might be a Hwy 277 locale?
I love those nice light pale gray leps!

She's from the pandale locality, as is the sire.
I do have a pair from 277 though, and they look a lot alike. The two areas aren't that far apart though.

i have had the pleasure of seeing Tim Coles Collection of Leps and he has several pairs and trios from different localities and even through it's a "relitively" small area there is quite a bit of variations within certain areas... it's like mini populations all over that area... each carrying somwhat their own variation and characteristics. pretty neat!!!
