Ok, gang. Three more babies have shed, only two to go.
Baby # 3 a Blackback normal. A little girl. It turns out she has a deformed lower jaw, it's too short. Time will tell if she can eat normally, or if the unthinkable is her fate.
An interesting thing to me is how many of the babies, even a few of the fires, have a granite type pattern going on. Even down to the break in the neck stripe.
Baby # 10. Another fire. The last one to hatch and a baby girl.
That leaves babies 5 and 9 to shed. One eyeless fire and another blackback normal. I anticipate they should shed out on Tuesday. Then the saga of feeding will begin.
A big thank you to everyone who has been following their progress. It's been a real roller coaster ride for me.

I like the spots along #10 back. Hope the little guy with the jaw issue can eat for you. *fingers crossed*

Well, the last two babies have shed and been given their own tubs. I will be attempting to feed this weekend.
