Newish hatchlings

[Nephrurus]

Hello all,

Recently I've become inundated with Oedura marmorata eggs and the very first clutches have started to hatch.
Definetly worth a photo or two as the young are exquisitly beautiful. Here are the first two babies, and a photo of the mother.

All the best,

Western Qld

That's what I was thinking. Very similar to the ones I have seen west of Currawinya NP.

I have never seen that species before, the young are specacular, thanks for sharing. BTW, how long do the young keep those colours?

 

[mblissett]

It depends how much you feed them. It usually fades by about adult size to a more "deep purple sprinkled woth gold dust". Yes. I know, a very romantic description but it's not too far from right.

Very impressive

Very Nice, I had a lonley male marmorata for about 7 years, they are hard to find in europe (esp females) and when you do they tend to cost about $400+ !. Do most of the oedura look very similar when young?
Great quality shots too, can i ask what camera ?

 

[Nephrurus]

Most have beautiful colours when young, then they fade to a different pattern (sometimes even better!).

My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 5700....

Some of the most impressive O.marmorata's I have seen are Danny Brown's Meekathara animals. I'm not sure how he managed to take such a horrible photo of this one (will probably blame it on Stewy like everything else...) but it gives an indication of how awesome they are -
