First ever satanic leaftail hatchlings!

[windeindoiel]

These little cuties hatched out last night. Neither made it out of his shed on his own, I managed to pull everything but the upper front legs off one, and the head off the other, who had managed to get his own tail and toes off. I figure what's left is just on his body, and split down the back anyway, so he should be able to get that off himself if he tries. I started them off together in a critter keeper. This is my first time with leaftails and I'm worried I won't have success raising them up, so any newbie advice is much appreciated!

i'm no expert but best hing you can do for the Phant hatchlings is humidity.

That statement is a bit vague. They can be kept too dry, but they can also be kept too humid.

Thanks for all the responses!

Haha when they hatched I read over that caresheet again just to refresh myself! I'm going to try a first feeding today with 1 week crickets, hopefully they'll both eat!

That's really exciting! I hope to get into keeping these wonderful gecko's in the near future if I can manage to track some down. Keep us posted on how raising them goes! They're really cute!

Well it's been a few weeks, and they're both eating so I'm feeling better about their odds! The one has red bumps on him though, is that just part of his pattern?
