Nice AFTs. If you stare at the first picture long enough it looks like it has two heads. LOL.

Are you breeding them?

Hehe.. Yes, It´s hard to tell somtimes when you look at them.. You look at the wrong part.. Hehe..

Sadly they all where dehydrated when I got them about 3 weeks ago, so I´m rehydrating them at the moment.. But I´m going to breed on them later..

The normal female is stil badly dehydrated, but not as much as she was when she got here.. The others are for now rehydrated..
I´ve just started to let them drink water from a syringe, before I´ve given them injections under their skin..

This is a pic of the normal female a few days after I got her.. Very badly dehydrated..

This is one of the stripes

Wow, poor things. I would keep giving them water from a syringe.

What you might do too is take a plastic container (like a deli cup) and put a wet paper towel in it. Just put the container in the enclosure and she’ll probably go in it. There will be a lot of moisture for her to lick and humidity which might stimulate her. Good luck.

They look pretty nice. Were they Wild Caught? Many of the AfTs in the pet trade in the U.S. are WC and should be checked for parasites. The prices are decent, but in my experience, WC aren't really worth the minor savings over captive bred. The regen tails are a good indication of them being WC, as well. Although, if you know the source/breeder you can usually find out from them.

You probably already knew to get them checked, but for the benefit of others who didn't, I had to point it out. Good luck with them.

Thanx!
I don´t think they´re WC.. But I´ve e-mailed the source & asked them if they are..

Yes I know I have to check if they have parasites, but which test/tests should I do?
You can choose from so many different tests..
Thanx for your help!!

At a bare minimum, get a fecal flotation done, but if you have any reason to think they're not well, get a smear done. Your vet should know what to do.

Where did you get them?
