In early March my Pancake laid her very first clutch of eggs, 1 day before she turned 1 year old.

Today, on Mothers day ?, her eggs hatched!!! The reptile store will be holding them until Tuesday when we can pick which ones we want to keep (they take half the clutch as payment for incubating them). I was told there are more than 8 Babies, and most of them leather backs.

Is there any specific care requirements for newborns compared to a baby/juvenile and adult??? I know newbies can eat up to 5 times a day, but is anything different besides that?

Thanks for any help

Congrats on the babies. :) I raised a lot of babies. For me the best set up is a plastic tote like this :

Open top so there's no blocking the uvb. Branches like this can be bought at pet store or gathered outside. No pine or sappy wood, put branches in preheated 250 oven for 40 minutes to kill possible pests . [ I've never ever had a single problem ] Order crickets about 1/8 " at first, move to 1/4" as the beardies grow a bit + have bigger appetites. After 7-10 days you can offer chopped or shredded greens like kale, turnip, mustard. You can even drop the pieces near the babies to see if they'll pounce. Spritz around the babies for drinking, wipe up excess water after. Once the babies get bigger you'll have to split them in to another enclosure. You'll get the hang of that.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
