Here are some pictures of my 4 adults feeding on some nightcrawlers. The first 2 are of my 2 females and the next 2 are my 2 males. The 3rd and 4th are the 2 females sharing a worm not by choice I am sure. These 4 adults have given me about 20 to 25 hatchlings in the last 3 years. 3 years ago I had 2 that survived long enough for me to find them but I wasnt so good on knowing how to properly raise them and I lost 1 but the other is doing just fine I dont remeber how many others I lost that year because they had headed for the water supply and could not get out and drowned. The next year I got 11 with one not making it because of the water again the other 10 are doing great. Then this year I got 5 but 1 that I had found was like a soft shell crab very mushy and one of the adults must have been trying to bite him because he was standing over him and the baby was bleeding. He did not make it but so far the other 4 are fine. So as of this year I have a total of 15 babies.

I sure like those oranges males. Beautiful.

Yeah that orange male is very sharp. I like the tug of war pics.
