well my first little dude hatched today. we have a smaller viv set up but at the moment we have put him in like a cricket tub inside the incubator with a damp piece of kitchen roll lining it. is this right and when do e move him to the vivarium? he seems lively and healthy and gorgeous. when can he be handled and when and how often should i feed him? sorry for all the questions but i want to get this right. thanks
oh some pics
Try getting them a large rubbermaid bin that you would keep catf ood in, and put a big rock for basking on, and paper towels for the substrate and a big flood light far away so they can bask (flood lights get really hot so put it where you can get a 110f basking temp for them)
now a second baby has hatched! they are so different...the first baby still has his eyes shut and is very quiet the second born over 24 hours later seems bright and alert with his eyes alreay open. is this normal? please help and advise
Yes, it is very normal, and there is nothing to worry about. They use up all of their energy poking through the egg so they are tired, I'd suggest leaving them in the incubator until they are moving around alot and then put them in what you are going to keep them in.
