is the yellow normal hatchling coloration? i dont recall seeing it in the past, but maybe just never thought much of it....

can be affected by temp

some lose it, some keep better patterning as they grow

must be het for albino as these were suppose to be albino, atleast that was my vision :lol:

very recessive

I have had them hatch that colour.

Dammit... now i want turtles again.

Dammit... now i want turtles again.

the res are under rated. just think of taking one on as similar to that of a dog. its a serious commitment that can live for a long time

these turtles are looking pretty cool :lol:

why have a never seen a yellow ear on trademe?

because we keep them in the hope they will retain that colour as they mature and breed true :happy1:

i suppose its the old...good things take time

still would of thought there would be some around by now.

most have darkened as they got older

have some orange ears

true i wondered about that. still, a good little project none the less.

i can supply some white and or black ears, twink and vivid not included though :lol:

is it water proof

you would hope so. theyre a new product though, ill have to do some tests for quality

i think a big part of the problem is most breeders do not bother to grow their own stock on and breed them with any planning.?I have never bothered myself in the past just going for adults from wherever you could get them.have not even lifted any eggs this year,tell a lie did 2 the other day.

true that. i suppose the turn around time has something to do with it aswel.

any thoughts on the red patch that some seem to have on top of their head? third ear, just colour or third eye (false eye) even?.

I would just like to say I think you are doing an excellent job at breeding reptiles and amphibians insect direct.

keep it up! :happy1:

he doesn`t do it,they do it themselves!

I have some in my lot that throw a few with extra red and the stripe down the head.

Thanks A-town :oops:. The ones i let be more often than not just do it. Some ive tried to encourage havent done so well in the past. Now find it best to focus on the basics and amazing things just happen

i find the red head interesting

second in from the right, bottom row. not just the shell, but the skin colour is lighter than normal also

You could of at least got them to all face the same way :facepalm:

some like smelling bums, some like having a face off, some just look the other way, thats life :facepalm:

The petterns on the underside are unique as well.

a few have the red dot on their head this season. one in the first pic has two, one in the second pic has four dots (hasnt come up very well in pic)

the other variable i see, is that some have a black line around the red ear, some dont.

THEY ARE SO CUTE!

*insert sound i make when i see puppies!*
