Well, it looks like my first collared baby has just entered the world. This is a bad photo but I did not want to disturb the baby. His/her name will be little Evee if it's a girl or Evers if it's a boy.

Once the baby is moved to the tank enclosure should I leave the heat lights on 24 hours a day or turn them off at night like I do for the adults?

Oops... here is the photo

congrats on the baby, it looks like its going to be very colorfull

Here come the babies

Aww, squeee! Babies!! They're so cute!

Thanks for all of your help. I was in extreme panic mode while they were in the incubator. I'm going out to buy pin head crickets tomorrow and the babies will be placed in their 40 gallon breeder. I'll still be nervous for a few weeks until the gang is jumping around the cage but mainly I'm just a proud mom.

With hatchlings are there any particular items that the babies like to crawl on? Also do you leave the heat light on 24/7 or do you turn it off at night?

Sounds funny but real safe, they love empty toilet paper rolls, LOL little boxes, anything that can not fall on them or squish them is what I use.

Also I would not get pinheads, to small get 1/4 inch, I think they work. More baby pics would be nice, hehehehhe.

I found that if you put things in the tank, the small crickets will hide in places that lizards can't get them from, the T.P. rolls work good and the crickets can't hide from the lizards, the crickets will just hide under the paper towels any way
