Popped Babies...

trevid Sep 29, 2011 06:55 PM

and it wasn't all that difficult. I followed the video instructions and saw 4 definatly males out of 13. I checked others more than once and would see some red showing, but more like a single entity protruding from vent, not the hemis that were easily exuded by the other four...It is a messy endeaver. i will get the others checked by someone far more experienced than I. So, I guess i have 4.0.9
Also had new litter of pinks in small tub with 6 lizards for 5 hrs and had 5 of my previous lizard eaters switch to the scented pinks! 9 out of 13 are now on pinks. Happy here. Dave.

Now the hard part...Letting some go...there are at least 4 that I want to keep and there's only so much room. I've managed to avoid racks so far and everything is in nice terrarium set up....AARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH.....Dave.

I am very tempted to get a female from you. Those are some really nice babies! If I can ever get caught up, lol.

I did the washing of pinks in sink with dab of dawn, and rinsed clean and thoroughly dried, then left in small tub with lizards close to 5 hrs. Then rubbed pinks on largest lizard and offered around 8 pm when things were pretty dark here. heard telltale sounds of pinks set apon and in am saw that had pretty good sucess...dave.
