First Congradulations!

It may be me and my inexperience, but how do you handle something like that, if they actually fell out all over the floor?

Carefully scoop them up on a stick...Arboreal species usually "hook" pretty well....I guess they see the hook as a metal tree branch....

These guys would surprise me if they "actually fell out"! They have such a prehensile tail that they were well anchored. They all hooked out of the cage with no problem. My neonate hook is a polycarbon hook which maintains room temperature which they seem to ride better than a metal hook.

They are large babies around 8".

Congrats Tim! Cute little boogers....Glad to see you on here with all that rain you guys have been getting.

By the way, that female is appearing to be gravid...hopefully we'll see some pups in the next month or two....

Hope all is well!

Brett
