They are all so unique and beautiful. My two male Hermanns are both considerably lighter than my females.

They all look lovely but the pale one is a bit more special maybe you should keep that one! and the 2 that are a bit pinky maybe I am going to be awful when mine start hatching, I will be finding "special" things about them all

Gertrudes first 2 are on day 50 tomorrow, slightly worried as membrane seems to be 1/2 way down egg nearly so hope they are ok, she laid 2 more that are looking good. Then Myrtle laid 3 and 1 of hers has a lovely looking embryo but dont think the other 2 are fertile, hoping she will lay again though
