Congratulations! The mother is beautiful and certainly well cared for. What's the diet of your adults?

Thanks.

Thanks Steve!

I actually acquired the adults as robust and healthy proven breeders. The previous owner only fed them rodents. I give them a rotation of chicken necks and rats. The male is even more robust without being obese...

Very nice to see the Black Tail Cribo's! Looks like this will be a good year for the Indigo and Cribo complex. All my newly hatched Yellow Tail Cribo's have had their eyes just start to cloud up and will begin the first shed within a few days from today.

Truly,
