First Leo Hatchling After A Long Wait!

Hello Everyone,

This morning I discovered my first leo hatchling in the incubator! I think right now we're sitting around 77 days. I incubated for female at 79F (which I now realise is a couple degrees too low). This little one weighed in at 3.6grams (I'm guessing that's a typical hatchling weight for these guys?). There was no signs of any left over yolk in the egg or attached to the hatchling.

Here is a pic of dad:

Mom is pretty similar, but with more carrot tail. (Sorry, I don't have any pics of her).

Here is the hatchling:




Looks to me to have some jungle possibly? Any guesses?

Thanks for looking!

Here's the clutchmate!

Thanks for the input everyone! I purchased both the parents as adults, and neither breeder made mention of any stripe in their backgrounds. Perhaps it's just part of their jungleness? This clutchmate has a more complete stripe on the tail than the first. The black regions also look lighter to me, and already fading out at their edges. Should be interesting to see what happens!

These pics were taken next to my window in hopes for some natural light pictures.





This one was slightly lighter at 3.4 grams.
