Just hatched Hypo Pastels
Here you see a brand new clutch of Hypo Pastels right out of the egg. Hypo Pastel are born pure white and don't begin developing their beautiful colors until about 5 weeks old. The picture here makes them look dark. When they first come out of the egg they need to warm up and then they lighten up to a nice bright white. New hatchlings are approx. four inches in length from nose to tail tip when they first come out of the egg.
