Clutch #2 is starting to hatch!
2013 Clutch #2 started to pip last night. After the first 3 pipped I couldn't help myself and cut the last 5 eggs!
Pairing was Lesser x Normal and it looks like we ended up with 4 Lessers and 4 Normals

Today when I got home the first little Lesser had made its way out.

So far 3 Lessers and 3 Normals have come out. Unfortunately the odds with the sexes hasn't been great, but we're always happy with healthy babies.
3.0 Lessers and 1.2 Normals.

What's up with the two in the middle? They don't look like regular Lessers...

I'm not exactly sure. They definitely have a lighter look plus that pinkish tint.
I'll have to see what they look like after they shed out.
Mom is a nice light Normal.

I remember someone making a similar observation last year, and the consensus was that they had a platty daddy rather than a lesser. I couldn't tell you if these little guys are or not though.

Yeah we'll have to see what they look like once they shed out to get a better idea of what's going on, if anything.

Look at some pics of hatchling Platty Daddys. They're much lighter than these.

Looks like they may have colored up now. :confusd: They looked a lot lighter in the first few pics you posted. Do they look different in person?

The one that is in the top right definitely has a different look to him in person. Unfortunately their egg skin isn't making for getting a decent pic of him.
I do agree that I highly doubt it's a Platty Daddy. Though he is lighter he has a completely different look than the pics I've seen on Ralph's site.
My best guess is that mom's nice light color just did more to enhance him than the others.
Once they shed I will get some comparison pics of him and his clutch mates.
