16 eggs 15 hatched.5 italian silkies,10 assorted italian leatherbacks and normal backs.wanted to share some silkie pics, they are starting their first shed so I soaked them to loosen up the shed skin and give them a drink.
Dad is an orange hypo italian leatherback,mom is a red italian leatherback.
No not a hypo, this is one from the last time Moma Rosa was bred, about 2 years ago.I used a brighter orange hypo italian leatherback male this time to make more colorful Silkies and leatherbacks. that male is around 15" he did not color up until 12-13" then it was an epic transformation. all the Silkies last breeding were orange except 1 neon yellow.
I did make hypo Silkies last year but the hypo gene seemed to have wiped out a lot of color in those breedings.
