The sixth baby is also a Tri Extreme Harlequin. Statistically, there should be a similar number of Lily Whites, but it feels like more Tri Extreme Harlequins are appearing.

The Tri Extreme Harlequin siblings all look quite similar. Except for the one with a tangerine hue, they share a similar secondary coloration and have a moderate amount of tertiary traits developing.

The pinning shows a mix of secondary and tertiary traits, and the gecko has a broad dorsal, which is another noticeable feature.

Since they are being raised in a house, the significant temperature difference between day and night during winter seems to be affecting their shedding frequency. The newly shed areas of skin stand out quite a bit. It will be interesting to see whether these similar-looking siblings continue to grow in a similar way or develop their own distinct features over time.
