Week old T. cristatus

[Brad Ramsey]

My eggs are still a couple months away from hatching but Elisa hatched 15 a little over a week ago and sent 5 of them to me.
They have been here for 5 days now and are doing great!
I took this picture with Frank's iphone after they had gone to bed tonight so please excuse the quality.
Must get new camera!
Oh, and there are only 4 of them in the photo.

Keep them well hydrated. They do best in a free-range well ventilated setup that you can mist heavily a few times a day. They look very nice, it reminds me of the group that i raised last year from baby till full grown and gave me my first clutch last december.

best regards

Congratulations on getting some new blood of such a phenomenal species! I'm guessing you plan to pair these up with your existing ones?

I am hoping to create pairs with animals yet to hatch.
I have 6 good eggs that should be about two months away from hatching.
(fingers tightly crossed)
Contact me in about two years to see if I have any CB babies

So I have been feeding these guys fruit flies since they arrived last Thursday.
Today I got a new bunch of "pinheads" that were actually more like 1/8".
I threw about 30 of them in with the baby cristatus and they went nuts!
They are very aggressive eaters.

Brad when you finally branched out you did it with gusto. Great job with the babies. Looking forward to seeing the rest when they hatch.

UPDATE:

At almost seven weeks old all 5 are still doing great and growing well, they are easily twice the size they were when they arrived on Jan. 28th.
All completed their first shed within the last week.
