thank you your very kind, before I was about to go to sleep at like 1am last night and I wasn't tired yet so I did some cage checks and I found 4 eggs in my pygmy Chameleon cage that I bought a few weeks ago which was exciting. And I also checked on the satanic girls and they look like their going to pop, one just came out of a shed and the other was half way threw one so hopefully there going to drop in the next few days, I guess they could just be fattys though lol.

thanks again things are looking good

So we can say that yeasterday was a great night for you!!!! I know it, there's nothing capable to make you happy before sleeping as findin some eggs (or looking into the incubator and finally see those adorable pink veins after days you were waiting for them)!!! It's the best part of our geckoillness

This must be my week! This morning a brown recluse spider lowered itself from the sun visor in my truck onto my hand while I was driving and I managed to carefully get it off my hand and into an empty vitamin water bottle with out getting bit, this was on my way to a job. When I got to the job site I found out I had caught all 6 baby skunks (the mother had been hit by a car) in one night only using 2 traps I rigged up to be multi-catch, at which point I covered them up with a tarp, bungee corded them to my flatbed and drove an hour home....without a single one spraying

I better hit the casino quick

I have also found that the first shed is the most critical, if they get through it, smooth sailing from there on. Babies in the beginning need it a bit cooler and more humid than the adults would. I am not saying soak the enclosure but I do not believe paper towel will be able to provide the humidity they need.

Congrats!

I have some blocks of eco eath I can hydrate and stick in there I like that idea cause I didn't want to soak the paper towels but I was worried about loosing humidity. I took a pot, cut a peace of packing foam to the size of the top, stuck a hole in it and threaded a pothos/phila vine clipping so I could fill it with water but not have the little guy exposed to a deep death trap. I also took some bark from my garage stock pile that's like 1.5" wide and similar colors to him, baked it on 400 for a good amount of time and stuck it in. I think I'm on track now, I'm not sure if he shed yet but I did see some poo in there which I think is a good sign.

the winning streak is over, when i brought the skunks to the wildlife rehab I helped put them in there new home until their old enough to be let go and I got squirted. But I couldn't get mad cause there so unbelievable cute, and the fact that I was born with out a sense of smell didn't hurt either
