Leo Hatchlings

[Big Red One]

Right Folks,

been looking at a lot of you lucky devils who's babies are starting to pop out and getting very jealous !

I've started thinking though, if we could get a 'list' of pictures, showing of what we're looking for when the hatchlings arrive, as far as 'what we have' hatched.

Obviously you can't always tell on hatching what is going to eventually develop, but having a list of the easily identifiable ones would be good.
I'm thinking iff you could tell say a snow albino from a hypo albino etc etc...
Tell me I'm talking waffle if you like - I am used to it !! (alternatively point me where I can find a 'list' already' !!

[shep1979]

i like it good idea

[sam12345]

Mack Snow Albino - Leopard Gecko Wiki
Hybino - Leopard Gecko Wiki

There just the examples you used :P

I think its a great idea as leopard gecko wiki doesnt have hatchling pics of all the morphs.

babies? what babies?

*nods* is a good idea
I keep a photographic record of all of my hatchlings from hatching onwards ~ with those that are sold then it goes upto 8 weeks but with those I keep then it gets updated as they grow
I know I only do the Classic types so most are everyday efforts but they're there if anyone wants to do a comparison

It would be nice to see the colour/pattern variations between the same morph & normals.

[arkreptiles]

we're putting all our hatchlings in an album on our profile if that helps??

[fraggle]

sounds like a great idea- maybe a collection of pics of each morph as a hatchling and then as an adult so people can a) identify their hatchlings if they are unsure and b) know what they will look like as adults?

[Jon2ooo8]

funnily enough i was thinking about doing one of these, so guess great minds think alike eh

[Big Red One]

Thanks for all the replies folks, seems like there's a general consensus this would be a good thing - just how to go about collating/storing the info.
I do like the idea of a hatchling/adult comparison, although in some cases (if they're sold on etc) this may not be easily achievable.

I definitely think the experienced people who 'know what they are looking at' would be of massive help here !


Any ideas how we can achieve this anyone ? I'd love to be able to know what I've got hatching (when the time comes!!)

i spose it doesnt necessarily have to be of the exact same leo, just the same morph- so ppl have an idea of how it will look?

i know it would be a great help to me when i get hatchlings from new combinations- until you have experience with certain morphs you sometimes have no idea which hatchlings are which!
