My tetrataenia babies.

[adamanteus]

Hi Guys,

Just a bit of good news I thought I would share with you all......my baby tetrataenia each took an unscented half pinky (cut lengthways) this evening. So I can stop digging for worms at last!:rolleyes:

[Elliot]

Good to hear James, mine still aren't big enough for that yet. :rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

They grow real quick though, don't they, Elliot? Next thing you know they'll be on pinkies and be big enough to handle with confidence.

[Josh]

they do grow quick. but im sticking as small as peices as possiblr though.

[Elliot]

That'll be nice, everytime I have to move them I'm afraid of crushing them!

[Josh]

true.
i honestly cant wait until i can put in a pinky or two and walk away.

[adamanteus]

I've got all this worry to come again when I get my T. cyrtopsis ocellatus in the next couple of weeks....I've never kept them before, but apparently they're notoriously awkward feeders. Oh, joy!:rolleyes:

[Elliot]

Bet they won't be as bad as ribbons though! :rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

Bet they won't be as bad as ribbons though! :rolleyes:

Haha! No, probably not!:rolleyes:

[Josh]

[Sid]

Great news, James. Always nice to hear of progress.:D

[Thamnophis]

[ssssnakeluvr]

[Gijs & Sabine]

Good to hear, James !! I guess it's time again to post some new pics :D

:confused: We have proximus proximus, and they make no trouble of feeding at all. The parents are a bit shy, but they eat quite well and the babies are always cruising around in their enclosure to look for someting to eat. They have been like that short after they were born.

@James, thats an important step to success, when do you will start to breed?;)
@Don, you should emigrate to Europe, we can show you here how
to do :D:D:D

I guess it's time again to post some new pics :D

I will try to take new pictues over the bank holiday weekend, and post them in this thread.:)

[drache]

congrats, James
once they take pinkies, it's like being on easy street
can't wait to see them

[Lulu Bennett]

lol wel done james hun. i have been worried of feeding them too big a piece so have been cutting them into small squares but yours were fine with a half so i think i will try that today :) they have been taking scented pinkies so if they take pinkie halves ten in 2 feeds time i will try uncented too because i hate digging for worms lol.

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations, James. :D

Mine are like that too, I have proximus orarius, and they'll eat mice out of my hand. But for some reason ribbons are notoriously picky eaters. :confused:
