That is just too cute. Thank you for posting the video. I'm thinking I now need one or two.

Just to ad a care sheet in case you want one. Found this on GGA.

Their Amazing Sarah,
like little puppies. They play tug of war with wax worms, run right up to you when you put your hand in and are super active. I have them in a tank with play sand, and maybe it sounds a little cruel but their frustration when their tunnels disappear is totally adorable too. I bought them excavator sand yesterday and the stuff not cheap so I'm gonna give their tank an overhaul before I put it in. I was just making, what hopefully will be, a baby frilled dragon grow out tank, and revamping my satanic tank at the same time, and I have a huge one on the list for a friend too but I'm gonna try to squeeze it in there sooner then latter, pictures to follow. But back to the topic at hand, you should totally get them, they might just be my new favorite!

thanks for the care sheet link

I've never seen them in person but I have a show this weekend and I'll keep an eye out. Problem with the shows out here in the west is some things just cant be found local and our prices stay up higher longer. Matt - Could you PM me with the breeders info you got them from so I can maybe make an order?

Matt- if you mix play sand and sphagnum peatmoss 50/50 it holds shapes very well. Cheaper in the long run. I know that excavator sand can sometimes run $12-$15 for a little bag.

I'm expecting a sexed pair this week. I cant wait!

That's awesome Sarah, your gonna have tons of fun with them!

mine are actually having problems right now. The have been sheding for about a week and they haven't gotten threw it. I've tryed the shed aid, I've tried fogging them, I've tried picking it off with tweezers but their skin is super delicate, I've tied putting different grit sand in there and nothings helping. It's so frustrating and I feel horrible for them. I think they are going to come out it but they have some welts around their neck from picking at themselves and such. I'm also pretty sure that the excavator sand had something to do with it. The stuff is as hard as a rock and they can't burrow into it. I didn't notice that they were having such a hard shed untill 2 or 3 days in and then realized that was probably the crucial time for them to use diggable sand to scrap it off and now even though I put regular sand back in the shed has hardened more and it's much more tough to get off? All i know for sure is that they shed fine when they were just in play sand and this occurred very soon after I switched to the excavator sand?

eww, no good. Sorry to hear that Matt. Maybe if you give them a sauna then use tweezers to pick off the parts that you can grab with out touching them you'll be able to get more off?

Hope they do better soon.

i have found that the humidity also make the skin stick more with them is almost better to let the skin dry out so its kinda brittle when takeing it of with tweezers best of luck

thanks guys,
I tried both but no to the a greater extent with the direr situation so I'm gonna try to really get some dry air present and consistent in the tank and hope for the best. the thing I'm most worried about is that the shed over their eyes has not budged and I can seem to get a grip on it with tweezers which is a nerve racking process in it self.

thanks again
