Today I went to water the Pygs and on top of the plant is a little baby girl acting like she owns the world. an hour later I found another one coming out of the dirt. These are the first hatchings that I have had hatch in one of the Brev bins as I am usually good at gathering eggs. :)

The bigger one is now 6 weeks old...

I like the lightening marking on the 'big' one. :) I love the general blank face look of pygmies, it's like" whatever". :D
 
About 2". It is amazing how they dig up and out of the dirt (Bed-A-Beast). The last one even had the shell stuck to one of his back feet.
 
Nice size comparison Juli.
I don't think I am ever going to remove a pygmy egg from the environment it was laid in again.
They hatch out great (like they are supposed to) where they are laid and it's easy to collect the babies.
Again, GREAT pictures!

Brad I am kind of thinking the same thing! I was worried that the Bed-A-Beast would get to wet from the misting but apparently not! I am still a bit concerned about the parents eating them though! :confused:
 
Juli,

If my feeling about these animals is correct I cannot imagine well fed (which I am sure yours are) adults even attempting to eat their young.
As I have said before, I think the real fear is that they would be attacked by uneaten crickets.
I am beginning to believe that these animals may intentionally live in large colonies and depend on the safety and strength of large numbers for their survival.
Mine don't ever seem to get too far away from each other and all sleep high in the enclosure in very close proximity to each other.
I would love to observe them in their natural environment.

I can see Brad going to the deepest darkest part of The Continent and finding a rare colony of Brevies never discovered before by man ...unfortuneately we never hear from Brad again. :eek:
