Okay, I can't edit, but here are the pics again from a different photo hosting site. Sorry if you can already see them on the first post. They just don't seem to display everywhere.

Different male, post shed
Runt, not yet had first shed.
and one that wasn't posted in my first attempt that shed overnight. This one is from the second clutch, with a mom who is more of a bright pink-red color, so the babies are lighter. All of my babies, to varying extents, became stained from coco chips. You could really notice it between the scales in the yellow areas. That's one of the reasons I've been really looking forward to the first sheds. Over time I went from coco chips to a finer cypress, and back to good old newspaper for ease of cleaning. Everyone's happily chowing on FT rat pups anyway.
Little Popeye (male, pet only due to an eye deformity) pre-shed and stained.
