Yes of the viable eggs (2 candled DOA from the get go)

How wonderful, Sean!!! What an awesome experience and adorable babies! Thanks for sharing the pics and letting us live vicariously through you! :D

Oh wow, congratulations! I am excited for you! I've heard normals or not, that when that first little head pops out it is out of this world. Let us know how they do.

I'm glad you mentioned the mom being shy...because I was worried about that with Chimera. She can be a real big baby sometimes. I feel better now though :)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments and vote of confidence.


Well the other 2 finally came out so here are some updated pictures as requested :)

Female 54 grams

all normals huh, were you expecting anything special? They cute, def surprised to see their weight though. I just bought a female from my shop and she is only 58g. Had no idea they came of the egg at that weight *sniffle sniffle* my little girl is so young.


Grats on the new kids! :carrot: :sunny: :rockon:

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that I already know the answer to this question, but BP's are not temperature sex dependant, correct? I've had experience hatching baby leo's, so that's why I was wondering.

Thanks...yup all normals and that was all I was expecting from her. I was hoping for some more girls and got 2 so I am happy. :)

As for the weights, I agree that pet shops will be getting a lot of CH babies right now and they will be really small...but they are sooo cute at this age (especially with the pink coloration - which won't last :( )

You are correct sex is not determined by temperature...but (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) the female is who determines the sex (unlike humans where the male does)

Can anyone guess which one is my favorite? :D
