Hatchling shed questions?

Hey guys, now that I have hatchlings here come the questions.

I was looking in on them tonight, and the first two that hatched yesterday both were showing signs of being in shed. My understanding is it usually takes around 4 days for them to have their first shed? Is it common for them to shed so quickly, like, 24 hours after hatching?

Nervous Nellie of a new pappy over here...lol....

By the way, the second egg of the second clutch hatched a little while ago... shaweet!

Cory - Now I'm wishing I kept a little better records. I think I've had a few shed earlier than usual, but the norm seems to be between 2 and 4 days. I do remember one from last season that went into shed within the first two days, but still didn't shed until about the 3rd day. Hope this helps a little...my memory isn't worth much lately!

helps a lot actually Paul... just peeked in again and they are still greyed in the body.... so I guess it will prolly be tomorrow before they actually shed, so 2 days would be right on track
