Welcome aboard, Stew.

And there are lots of Dekay's slithering around our forum too!

I don't slither too well Anji Gives me rug burns when I try...

Wow, thanks for the repliesand welcomes-- I kept coming back and didn't see my post so kind of gave up-- fortunately I got an email notification this am.

yes, i did have them all in the same enclosure at first, but then separated the babies-- I had to take the habitat apart to do so because as was mentioned these things are tiny. And in doing so, discovered that the live baby count was actually 12!

WE did keep one that was a good eater but we still may release it--Its no light weight responsibility to keep these things and I'm trying to teach my son to be responsible with life.

As to the ribbon being a good eater-- WOW! She will nail a frog or toad like nobody's business-- we even put 4 in one day since we had no where else to keep them. We figured she'd eat one or two then the others when hungry again but bang bang bang bang all 4 in no time. We are going to get some fish today and see how she likes those. she's jumpy though. The brown is really mellow and will eat out of hand-- need to move slowly with the ribbon though or she starts flying all over the place

The brown (dekay?) seems to be just fine with whole worms and the baby with worm pieces so those two are easy to care for.

Sorry never took pics of all the babies before releasing them, but will try to get some pics of the current crew one of these days.

Thanks again all.

I could try, have Dorothy film it and put it on youtube

But I absolutely will NOT eat any slugs, or cut worms... No way No How.

Right about now, Stew is wondering what kind of insane asylum he just joined?????

Not at all, love it. Well, except the delay in the posts being published. I dont think I can stick around if all posts are moderated and it takes a day to see them-- just too long of a delay for me to feel like I am conversing. I assume there was a troll problem at some time? I have not encountered a forum that approves of every post like this before. but I do greatly appreciate the welcome and advice and will pop in for help if I need it.

Thanks again everyone.


Edit: OK I take that back seeing as this post was pubished as soon as it was submitted -- thanks admin-- feels better.

only the first couple posts get moderated stew, just to make sure the new members are on the up and up.

Stick around, GREAT folks here
