How is the baby doing?

what do those little guys weigh in at, as hatchlings? also, I can only assume you have to be concerned about cannibalism with this species, too, like most others? those little tiny guys must be hard to catch!

I haven't the faintest idea at what these would weigh .25 gram, maybe if that. Would be interesting to know yet I wouldn't risk moving mine to find out. Cannibalism is of course a concern, many breeders with good luck in this species have raised juveniles right out of the parents enclosure. Given enough coverage and proper conditions for babies and adults, it is possible. Is it worth the risk? Maybe. In my opinion it depends where the eggs are initially laid and if prime conditions for rearing these tiny babies can be met.

This is a tricky species to raise from hatch day, they are extremely dainty to deal with. If you read around this forum you will fine many heartbreaking success-turned-failure threads in the journey of raising these to sub-adult size. I'll be the newest to add to this growing list as I recently just lost my first hatchling this late afternoon...

I have done as much continued reading as my brain can handle today, my first hatchling still has an egg mate that should hatch any day now. I hope this time, with the adjustments I have made as a result of my research on the success stories of this forum, that I am ready for him.

I will keep you updated and I am very curious to find out if the original thread poster finally achieved success.

Hey
Istel: My baby is already sold when was about 2 month old
They are really hard to catch, but i had this luck that this bamboo where was the egg was in this size that i could take it out and put in another terrarium, where the baby hatched and where were growing Now i have next eggs, they can hatch any day, but i just proteced this place, that the little ones can't get out to this bigg terrarium with their parents. I everyday look if some of the egg hatched, because it is near the glass. The canibalism is a huge problem. A few times it happend that the one of the parents just ate the baby, because after hatching this little one got out from babmboo and the adults noticed some movements and treated them as a food... It's so sad... That they haven't chance to live and grow...
And this is the photo where the eggs are:

Now there are more eggs and i also blocked the entrance so that they could't get out and become a food.
And good luck with next babies I hope that this time will be successful for you

Raising the young ones is pretty fool proof, they pretty much thrive on neglect. I have hatchlings come out and i do not do anything with or for them except provide a tank, UVB light and food 3x's a week and a daily misting. If a young one fails to thrive there was probably something wrong with it to begin with that is beyond your control. However if they continue to fail, you need to recondition your female or check your incubation temperatures.

hexentanz: i absolutely agree with you
when my baby hatched in the terra where i putted in this bamboo with the egg, i didn't do anything for this little one except throwing in there fruit flies, some fruit mashes etc and that's all. He was so lively that at once I saw hunting or licking a mash. Conditions and female's health are the most important. If it's ok with that there's no need to worry about baby.
