Thanks!
First up is Moya (Mum)!
As you can see stuffed with eggs, what I haven't reported is that a couple of days ago she dropped the load she was carrying after mating with Geronimo at the post hatch moult, this new set of eggs would have been fresh from the ovaries (no idea who the father is this time but more than likely it's Geronimo). I'm hoping that when I topped up with RO the other day it didn't trigger the moult. If you have a closer look at her carapace you can see in the black that makes her a CBS both red and blue, appears to have a red tail and if you add that to the orange high lights on her appendages she's turning out to be quite a rainbow.
Here's a CBS and a CRS next to Mum!
Another CBS (2 if you count the background out of focus one)!
Another CRS!
It's Blue!
And unbelievably next to the Blue, a big Clown wearing a red spotted waistcoat and tan trousers!!!
Here's a white with red spots next to a pond snail and some RCS for a sense of scale.
I hope the Blue one doesn't fade over the next few moults!
