They look great. Congrats.
Laura has nice steady hands... have to teach me that trick.
I have heard that with pastels 5 to 8 sheds is crucial as they can change so much in that time.
I just hatched my second clutch and was expecting brighter as well... but we'll see.
Again, congrats!
How many are you holding back? Safe to assume the female is going to stick around?
