I was feeding everything last night and thought I'd take some more photos of my young Rhacs.

Firstly, my orange stripe auriculatus. The orange is getting more vibrant with each shed:

These next photos are to show the size difference in the clutchmates:

The smaller one hatched 4 days after the first and took a week to have it's post hatch slough. It has also taken longer to start feeding. It's doing well now (feeding and shedding on it's own) but I wonder if it will be a small adult or will it catch up? (There's only one photo of the smaller one as it is due to shed).

Now for my leachie pics - Winky. He's coming on a treat. I've had him since early July and he's grown at least an inch since then. I sat watching him hunting for hour last night - it was great. He was really active.

Leachianus feet are amazing - they are so huge!

My favourite photo - a game of hide and seek. 'I bet you can't find me, Mam!'

Excellant pictures Jackie, and stunning animals.

Watching your Leachie hunting for an hour is what it`s all about to me. I spend , (according to some people) too much time watching my animals. I personally feel that I don`t spend ENOUGH time observing them. I certainly can`t remember the last time I watched television other than to watch a DVD. (You`ve guessed it, on wildlife!) Laughing

cracking adults although it looks like the orange has come from nowhere, certainly not visually from the parents.

thanks for the pics.

very nice babys, mine are showing some yellow in their stripes but most of them are going either white or really pale.
