New Quadricornis

[luevelvet]

Just came in yesterday. So far they have been a fascinating species to work with.

I'm trying to be better friends with my camera. It's a D50 with a Tamron Lens fitted with a 2x magnifier. Advice is always appreciated!

Enjoy!

Luis

Thanks everyone. Here are a few more...

Baby quads are the cutest babies

Water is the most important point when you want to keep them succesfully

 

[luevelvet]

That's what I've been told and noticed. They love to drink. It's still a little odd to imagine keeping them that wet and cool at the same time. Temps don't go above 77-78 are primarily around 75 throughtout the day. I'm hooking up a cool mist humidifier and mister this weekend to make sure they have a consistent supply of water and humidity.

eisentrauti, Do you care for any of these?

Thanks,

Luis

I've kept some of them yes. The best is a dripper or something else where they could always drink. When this point works fine, they will look in a few months like the beautiful male from Celine

 

[luevelvet]

Pardon the confusion, what would a male from Celine look like?

Very nice!

These guys are great, glad to hear that they are doing great Luis! Keep us updated on how they are doing. Here is a picture of one of our adult males, hopefully some of our babies will look just like him. They will look like the adult above to an extent but they are they other Quadricornis species not the gracilor species.

Hi Josh,

I know, but I won't bet that the ones of Celine real graciliors are

Flawless! Those babies are beautiful and should provide years of fascinating viewing and keeping. Josh, your male looks fantastic just like Celine's. Man, I just love some healthy Quads!

Benny, why do you say Celine's may not be Ch. (T.) quadricornis gracilior? I haven't gone through my old literature on the species, but, I've heard it mentioned in lay circles that the gracilior subspecies is easily identified by the orange nails. I also thought they were typically expected to have more than 4 horns. The reason I ask is that the pet store near to me has a fantastic looking male right now with the red head and orange nails.

 

[joshdhensley]

Thanks Kent, apart from the few babies we have now, we are hoping he makes a wonderful dad (we have 19 eggs). He too is getting more horns now, he has 6 now and they keep on growing.

 

[eisentrauti]

@Kent: The thing with the claws don't work. There were some "graciliors" with normal claws and some quad quads with more orange claws.

@Josh: Great to hear, 19 eggs should be enough for a good cb population

 

[Kent67]

Oh, ok. I didn;t know that. I'll have to review my literature! Thanks, Benny.

No problem. Maybe Chris could help here. At the moment I know no way to differentiate them.
They are such a variable species.
