Actually 8

Red and Scarlet's second baby is hatched.  Three more to go!
 Here's the whole brood.
 Baby number 1 is a little bit bigger already with food in its crop.
 Here's the 2nd baby with it's sibling on it's side and the 3 more fertile eggs yet to hatch.
Coral and Blush, on closer inspection actually only has 3 fertile eggs.  The 4th is clear so far, not sure if it requires more days of incubation or is simply infertile.  Here's an egg at an earlier stage of development - the red round area is where the beating heart can be seen.
 Here's a praying mantis who came to visit.  Love the little guys/or gals despite their ferociously lethal nature.
