in some of the pictures the bigger ones looked a bit like young marginated, they are stunning & you have so many.

How many adults do you have Jeff? & do you have a very high hatch rate?

Thank you for your nice comments,I am quite proud of them.I have had 14 eggs from 2 females this season,Only 2 eggs were infertile,The rest have hatched out.So the hatch rate is very good i think,The males are in there seperate pens now resting for the breeding season to start october onwards.

They're stunning little torts. Great photos

They are absolutely stunning

This is not a species I know anything about...what kind of size do the adults get to? Do you have any pictures of your adults, I'd love to see!
