Hoehnelii Neonates are born...!!!

[multicham]

Hello all, Well this is my first post (although been a member a while)

I am a snake breeder in the UK so 99% of my forum time is taken on Snakes. I only ever get time to look around at chameleon forums which is a shame.

Anyway i have babies....
This is from my female WC (captive farmed) and must have been gravid when she arrived.
I have had the male along time now but picked him up another lovely female..!

so pictures..
Male (not dad) and female

And the babies 8 perfect babies

Mum and baby aaaahhhh..!!!

I seem to have it about right for the parents as i have had him and others for a while. Also this female i picked up the first week of December and she gave birth Friday night....

But i do not have a clue for the Babies.. what i have done
Placed them all in a smaller plastic tub with net over the top
Fruit flies
Spraying regularly (added vitamins to water)
Left the tub ontop of the mothers mesh viv so temps are virtually identical (28-22 ish with a night drop to around 24-18 ish

Anybody that has successfully raised neonate Hoehnelii please give advice. I don't want to lose these babies through my lack of knowledge..

Thank you and i hope you like the pictures..!!!!

Congrats on the baby's, is there care not similar to other honehnelii species? If you have had success raising the adults I'm sure you will do fine.there is normally alot more activity on this forum at night with It being a American forum so I'm sure you will get plenty of input then

Well i assume if mum has managed to have most of her pregnancy and give birth to all live babies then i must have something right..!! Do Not want to lose them for the sake of asking questions..!! i am so particular about care i'm never happy (snakes or chams)
Hoehnelii seem to be one of those species like some snakes that nobody can agree on care... house alone/together sort of thing..!!

My main one is how to get calcium into them.. or not ??? many many questions hahahaha..!!! thanks for your reply

I'm sat in the snake room with over 200 snakes and can't take my eyes off the 1" neonates hahahaha!!!

I would gutload the feeders with high in calcium produce and not use supliments once a week, that's what I do for my montanes and I would be the same, I will keep an eye out for if you sell them

By get calcium in, you mean for the babies?

I just dusted the fruit flies or pinheads.

If you mean how often I did calcium once a month.

Congrats on the babies! I'm so jealous.
