Nice pics! I love the little videos! I wish I could post some up here...I'll have to set up a photo bucket page like that.
I know you've been thrown some questions and comments, but I'll throw a couple more in there. For the question...How often do you feed these hatchlings? For the comment...I've really found mealworms to be just about useless. They're so hard for the little guys to digest, and they don't put up a great showing on the nutritional charts. When I used to offer mealworms more often, I saw far less growth in my hatchlings.
I still offer them occasionally because they're so easy to breed. However, I have had much better results with very small superworms. There are only a couple of suppliers that sell them, but they're worth it! They do have a fairly high fat content, but I have great results offering them about equally as often as earthworms. I breed superworms now, so I have a nearly constant supply of all different sizes. Care is almost exactly the same as mealworms, aside from getting the superworms to pupate. I have some adult bettles that live and reproduce for almost a year!
