This year was the first year that we got crestie eggs and decided to hatch them out (first time we've had a breeder sized female..) The first egg hatched out as a surprise this summer, Ruby. I found her in the tank with the mother in the middle of the night (what an awesome lil surprise :D). Ruby started out as a cute lil red crestie, and after taking pics today.. well she definitely isn't red anymore:

then about a month or so after that egg hatched, two more babies hatched out.. this time in a makeshift incubator. They were much more spotty then the first baby, and still more red than the first baby.
first up is Squeak:

next is Tybalt, he is also quite spotty, and doesn't have as much of a pattern like Squeak- http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/DSCN3986.jpg
then, this weekend, the last 2 eggs we were incubating finally hatched (also came as a surprise... we thought that they had another month to go...)
first up is Taz, who is a complete spazz! I really hope that he calms down a bit soon... he is soo fast!
