Already taken care of ... lol . Took the lid and punched a hole in it . A piece of tape over the remaining opening and voila !! Instant fix ... ty again for the heads up , Laurie . You're a lifesaver ... literally
Oh ... never thought of that . Ty for bringing that to my attention , Miss Laurie . Ok , McGyver time ... I'll close off the top enough so the vines can be in but nothing else can get in . Then tomorrow , they get a whole plant :cool:
You would be correct , Miss Lily ... those are Pothos clippings . Only reason I'm saying males on certain ones is that I'm noticing distinct differences in their heads when side-by-side . First clutch she had 11 ( 1 stillborn and 10 alive ) , but within 10 days they all had died , 2 of which had...
Ok , before anybody yells at me , I know this isn't the proper setup ... lol . Tomorrow is payday and until then I had to go a little McGyver here . So I snipped some vines from their mom's plant , put water in a little jar to keep vines alive and so far it seems to be working . They're moving...
You came to the right place ... these people know their stuff and are a great group altogether . If you have questions , I'm sure one of them has an answer for you . They're awesome like that , ya know :cool:
Oh yeah , I almost forgot .....
Funny you should word it that way cause from what I read and have been told , that's exactly why ... the mother may confuse the them with food and eat them .
Thank you ... they are cool to watch . I actually fell asleep laying there watching them today . I'll definitely keep you all posted through this thread . Plus , if I don't post updated pix , Laurie will beat me up ... lol . :D
Actually , Miss Lily , I just went all McGyver on it ... lol . I took a small jar , clipped parts from Lucky's plant and placed it in there . Not alot of plant but enough to get droplets on til I get them their own plant . :cool:
Actually , Miss Lily , you're not late at all . When I get paid this week , I'm getting them a plant and moving them to the small cage . People , you keep that advice right on coming ... this rookie needs all the advice he can get ... lol .
Oh nonononononono ... I didn't plan this one or the last one . When I bought her at Petsmart , she was already pregger ... lol . She had the first ones July 5th ( sadly , all died ) , and these New Years Eve . Good thing I shave my head ... I'd have pulled all my hair out this time ... lol .
Lol ... so do I , Laurie ... so do I . I'm just soooo glad I procrastinated in getting rid of the ' dead one ' . And now for your enjoyment ... a few more pix :
Before I went to bed they were all crawling around enjoying their little jungle gym ... lol . When I woke up , it was laying there . Never twitched or anything when I picked it up . I'm wondering if it didn't fall and knock itself out . Imagine my surprise when I got home and it was crawling...
Ok , you're not gonna believe this , mainly cause I still don't . So I took the dead baby out and set it on a plastic lid . I was gonna get rid of it when I got home . I come up to my room ... it was crawling around the lid !!! Little sucker never moved when I picked it up ... was all limp ...
Sadly , one didn't survive the night . I was kind of skeptical if it would , though . The others were feisty getting them out of the cage , but this one wasn't . This one was kind of lethargic . Keep your fingers crossed for the rest .
I have to go take pix for the Fire Company later today , but when I get home , I'll see if there are anymore I missed and try to get some better pix to post .
Lol ... way ahead of you . Here's pix of the first 4 :
Was in the middle of cleaning cricket tank when she started ... put the top back on , put the temp tank on top and got the first 4 out ... lol
