This beautiful girl became available and arrived today. She is one of the very few adult Trioceros quadricornis graciliors in the US, part of last year's December import. Look at her blues!

Very nice! Looks like you might have an opportunity to sell mating pairs someday.

All 12 gracilior babies are doing great. I think I'll put a few pictures in that I took last night. They seem quite big for babies hatched late August--in the 12g to 14g range. It took me forever to be confident of their sexes. I swear a couple of the males look as though they are starting to develop their second set of horns if that is possible.
I had a clutch of quads hatch late last week. That hatch was not as successful as my gracilior hatch--two died, one in the shell after pipping and the other hatched but had a huge blood filled yolk. I have one egg left, but it was the smallest egg and is now soft. I'm sure it's dead and has been for a long time. Seven seem fine.
The baby quads' mother laid an absurdly large clutch of 29 eggs a week ago and got into an awful lot of trouble. I wrote about it in the breeding section, hoping for some advice. She is finally turning the corner and eating well, but that's only been in the last couple of days. I just hope she hasn't ruptured her uterus. She was in and out of holes for days after she had laid even though neither the vet nor I could find any eggs.
