The color coming out on her is simply amazing... and growing like a weed, I would have weighed her but my scales are FUBARED, reading 50 grams as 3.6 lol.... I wish my bathroom scales did that...

Thanks for looking!

yup, and like I said, after just 3 weeks, can't wait to see what happens in 3 MONTHS!

Her eyes are interesting as well... deep deep black....

Thanks!

Thanks Glen... here's another showing her eyes, don't mind the poop under her there, as soon as you clean a tub these wee fellas are quick to soil it again...lol...

But yeah, I am really amazed by her eyes, they are BLACK BLACK... is that normal in hatchlings or is this something not seen often? Thanks for the input guys...

Cory,
I think that is fairly normal in a lot of hatchlings. I'm checking out all the eyes of my hatchlings much more carefully now since all this "eye morph" stuff started and I'm noticing that hatchling eyes are usually pretty dark. But, you never know! That gecko does look to have pretty black eyes! If they stay dark like that, then that would be pretty cool. Beautiful hatchling by the way! Just wait till it hits 25 grams or so...then you'll be blown away! Usually when you've got one that looks that nice as a babe, it turns into something pretty special :)

Yeah Paul, with the exception of one of the 4 hatchlings that came out the same time, they all had pretty dark eyes, the other two have lightened up considerably but that one above has, if anything, gotten even darker. It will be interesting to see how that develops.

And yes.... I can't WAIT for her to get even bigger... thanks for the comment

Nice babys Cory! Is it just me, or are their tails showing abit of the long tail that has been mentioned in the bells by Kelli? Maybe I'm just seeing things... :eek3:

nope... not seeing things at all, both of that clutch are exhibiting a very long tail, particularly the darker of the two, if you count, you'll see extra rings....
