The days are quickly approaching to the end of my wait for clutch #1! Tabitha (a normal) was bred to three males (two with confirmed locks). I cut the eggs on day 52 and saw that the black pastel won the clutch!
On September 30th, I came from from class to a pip! That gem is a normal female. As silly as it sounds, she's so pretty that I may make rack space for her ;)

Tuesday, I woke up to several more pips. Today, all but 1 egg have pipped and these two came out of their eggs. The first is a black pastel male and his normal brother :D

I will continue to post pictures as the rest emerge and shed! Once they shed I'll get proper pictures of them in my light tent. I didn't want to harass them to much so they have gone into the "male" or "female" tub to shed out before going into their individual tubs. All females will be probed after they shed. I'm not 100% confident in my popping ability. However, I've never been wrong popping a baby... ;)
