I had a baby leo hatch much larger than any of my other leos. She was incubated at quite low temps and is a circle back. However, she did hatch at about 62 days instead of the usual 70-75 days it takes for my females. But she hadn't absorbed her sack. I left her in the incubator for about 18 hours after hatching and then put her in her new home. She was born on the 11th. And has been doing exceptional. She is eating and is quite easy to handle for a hatchling. Doesn't stress too easily. The funny thing is though, that she was born with only 4 toes on one of her front claws. It is so funny. she has 3 long toes and a short on on the inside. Looking quickly it looks like she only has 3 toes. but you wouldn't know it, she getts around just fine and is a super little girl!

She's very cute! And since a missing toe isn't really a disability, I'm sure she'll do great :)

Very cool picture. I agree with clownfishie the missing toes shouldn't be too much of a problem

Hi guys, thanks. I realized that the toe is not a problem, I just thought it was cute and a really sweet girl, so I had to share. ;)
