First Clutch ever...Hatched!

These are from the 12 egg clutch laid February 15th. There are 5.2 pastels and 2.2 normals (one normal still in the egg).

Very nice clutch......congrats

The lower Pastel female is a looker and should be a keeper.

Congrats! Big clutch! The pastels are very pretty.

HUGE CONGRATS!!!! They are stunning, I can easily see like 5 of them that I would keep without a doubt. :snake:

Congrats on such a nice clutch!

thats awsome congrats!!!

Beautiful clutch, and great size.

CONGRATS MAN! :D:D:gj::gj:

you must be very excited! That is a very nice looking clutch. Even the normals look good! :gj::gj:

Those are some of the nicest looking pastels out of the egg I've seen pics of, no joke. I'd bet dollars to donuts that they retain their color well.

Plus it looks like a few of those normals have some very nice pattern reduction on them (and on a few of the pastels too I suppose!)

Could we get a glimpse of the happy parents too?

Those are some crazy nice pastels! Grats.

That male pastel in the middle is wicked!!!! I LOVE those babies, you should be very proud of your clutch! Were the parents both reduced?

I see some really nice pastels in there, good job!

There are some nice looking pastels in that group. I really like the one on the bottom right.

Nice pics congrats... I agree tht second one has some wicked lines/stripes/pattern on her....sorry don't know the correct term..lol
but she is a looker!

CONGRATULATIONS on that GREAT looking clutch....Not bad for your 1st clutch.

Those, as everyone else has said, are some very very good looking pastels, and normals.

awww look at all those cute little babies! 2nd pic is cool with 2 babies in your hand...how big are babies when they hatch? i thought 12 inches.

Gorgeous clutch. Congrats!

I LOVE the pattern on them! at first I actually thought they were crossed with something else. Even the normals look great :gj:

Look at the white on those pastels heads!

congratulation on that superb clutch. 12 eggs no slugs, i wish to have your luck in breeding this year.. ;o)

i see 2 pastels with insane faded head. Nice!

what are the pairing?? pastel x reduce pattern

Very nice Pastels, and congratulations on your first ever hatchlings. Some great "beginner's luck" odds too. I would be very pleased with a first clutch like that.

Thanks everyone! I've been having internet and power issues the past few days...but here's some pictures of the parents.

The hatchlings are about 55-65 grams each. They're about 12 inches. They look small in my hand because my hands are gigantic...lol.
