Hey Jerry - found my way here. So far the two babies haven't fed, but they don't appear to have shed yet so maybe it will take some more time. I tried very small earthworms - no dice. I tried guppies - they seemed drawn to the movement (in a very shallow dish; just enough water for the guppies to flop around) but still no feeding. One of them seemed drawn to the movements of a cricket in an adjoining cage - I thought "way cool; if they're going to do crickets this will be a cakewalk." But no; when a couple were placed in their cage they didn't want to eat them. I'll try again Sunday.

Hi Peter, and welcome to the forum.
Don't bother trying the crickets again, they won't take them. Good luck and keep us informed on your progress.

I just realised... I missed this thread earlier. Congratulations Jerry! Beautiful babies!
