Just not enough room. Said goodbye to 8 of the 13 babies, all eating scented pinks. It was really easy getting attatched to them all, but this day was inevitable. That leaves 5 that I just couldn't part with. its a 3.2 group and I have 2 female holdbacks from last year to add to the bunch. Here is a pic of the fab five keepers. 2 still only taking lizards, one on scented pink and 2 now eating unscented. Dave ps. had aquarium rocks and went for a jlassitor effect. failed miserably! lol

Thanks Kent. Was wondering how your group is doing? are they being cooled for the winter or are you still feeding or trying to feed, and as far as being 0.0.17, doug posted a youtube video for me showing how to pop the babies. It was pretty easy and the males were easily identifiable. Take care. Dave.

Of my 17 alterna hatchlings, 9 are being cooled. 6 of those have not eaten at all. The 8 that are not being cooled are requiring lizard scenting, or lizard parts, to get them to eat pinkies. Some have grown quite a bit, and are eating two pinkies or one large pinky.
I have not tried popping, as I am afraid I will hurt them!
