a Second Baby!

This absolutely blows my mind - i've never had any luck with breeding the africans.
When i completely give up i find a baby!
This morning as i'm doing the morning feed and crushing up some flake for the one baby i have - a teeny little stripy one comes out of the cave!!!
HOLY MOLEY!!!
I know he's from the parents as the first but the first one is yellow and this one is grey and black stripey.
Here's pics
the first baby - pic taken today

Congrats! Great pics! Such adorble little ones. You've got me curious. What is the coloring each of the parents?

Maybe its all of the rocks - gives them lots of places to hide. Congrats!

i've been trying to get pics of the parents but they've been really psychotic lately, won't let the camera near them.
It's too bad cause the males are in full breeding colour - Absolutely gorgeous!
here's a Google pic i found of the male, female is more bland in colour but still really pretty
