Hatchling aff.ebenaui

[freekygeeky]

Graham_s partner here, we just had our first baby hatch after 140 days,
140 very long days of trying to keep them cool, was difficult but i managed it!
Hopefully its clutchmate will hatch soon too.
I knew she/he would be small, but i didnt think she/he would be that small!

Do you think its male or female? We think female.

Very happy and excited, our female, and males first eveer egg, and its hatched, even with the warm weather we have had in england!

Gina and Graham

Im hoping so too...looks like a female to me....

Havent had any success yet getting mine to breed. Ive only had 1 slug and ive had them about a year.

You guys should post some pics of the set up you have them in and the normal temps...would be very helpful to me I know. Ive talked to Graham a few times...

Anyway I know he is happy!!

Oh no
Well im the one who has been looking after them, as graham went to uni, lol! They have now moved from my house though, as the summer is far to hot in my house.
Anyway temps range from (in my house-which they were in until about 2 months ago - she has laid 6 eggs since moving out of myhouse though) 16 ish to 22/23 they did go up to 26 thats when we decided to move them, they were as a pair for a short space of time some many moneths ago, after she had laid her eggs... and soon after that we seperated them, as we noticed her calcium wasnt 100% and he was a greedy so and so and was eating alot of the food. Since then they have been seperate, we tried to put them togetehr again but they acted oddly, so seperated again..

Here is a pic of there joint viv, (i havent got pictures of inndividual setups although its bascially teh same) real plants fake plants leaves twigs bamboo cork bark etc etc

This was the one mating i saw, after this we got the two eggs, one of which hatched yesterday!

and the viv

since then a few of our plants have died, but we have also kept the dead plants as they love hiding in the twigs etc

they get sprayed every night, more if to hot, and get food every 2/3/4 nights

wow, that is one pretty baby! and its tail so is much bigger then my pairs. It looks like a small phantastic tail. congrats and good luck on all the other eggs

thankyou! i thought the tail looked small in comparision to the head! lol

Hello there,

Very nice to see your success walking around. I think you have got a female there and it looks gorgeous. I can imagine the impatience after waiting so long! Waiting for my cf. ebenaui for 100 days now and I feel like I could stare them out of the eggs! All the best of luck.

hehe thank you. i (when we had the hot spell here) wasnt able to go out or anything, it was a case of sitting next to the eggs spraying them air con on, towels with water, ice blocks etc etc, it wasnt fun i havent to admit! lol But im glad we have something out of it !

Excellent news guys! He/she looks perfect too.

Congratulations beautiful hatchling!!! :biggrin:

 

[Graham_s]

Thanks everyone. I will post when the clutchmate hatches. I've checked this morning and no sign of hatching yet, but could happen tonight. Do they generally keep the markings they are born with?

 

[miguel camacho!]

congratulations, that's a beautiful hatchling.

 

[Graham_s]

Thanks Mike!

 

[freekygeeky]

thankyou everyone, graham has now left here, so if the otherone hatches i will post it up asap

Also as graham said do they keep their markings they are born with?

 

[miguel camacho!]

I would imagine that they develop very similar to other species within the ebenaui complex. That being said, I wouldn't expect a very significant shift in the way it looks. Hatchlings are definitely the most boldly and brilliantly colored, however it seems to me as though that one will not have the mottled coloration you see on some. It will retain the faint leaf vein pattern you can see on the back, as well as its overall velvet look/color. The color will fade/blanch a bit, but it will look very similar to the way it looks now after a fresh shed.

That being said, I would like to default on the fact I have never worked with this form, so I don't know if they change at all as they grow. But purely comparing them to phantasticus and ebenaui, I would expect them to turn out more or less the same.

Congrats guys!! That was a long wait!

Hope to see more in the months to come...

thankyou very much. our female / male hasnt got the bold stripe down their back, i really hope it keeps it, even if it does dull down somewhat, stunning animal it reallly is.

Congrats guys!! That was a long wait!

Hope to see more in the months to come...

Congratulation with hatching these species. I am glad that also other people are starting to have succes with them. And that finally animals that were breed by me in the past are starting to have babys. Your baby is female, the males have from the start serated tails. All the best in future!!!
