I DID seperate them right after they were born, within a day. I noticed the parents, staring at them, (maybe they were proud of their children , heheheh, ) Maybe NOT.

Anyway it was interesting to watch, the newborns would actually head bob and do pushups at their parents.

Care, I have always heard it is hard to keep them alive.

I have found that misting them is a KEY factor, plenty of water they love it and drink alot, everytime they are misted.

Also I did not heat them, I put them in a 38 gallon screen reptarium, they use every inch. My reptile room stays a comfortable 80's even though it's winter, from all the other lights going. I turn everything off at night , room temp about 69

So the only light I use for them during the day, is the UVB strip on top, which they hang on the screen right under it at times, when they are not running around else where,

I feed them 3 times a day , started with tiny crickets/dusted and now I'm up to a larger size.


You will find they are eating machines, wow awesome appetites. Good little hunters.

Thats about it, I just keep them cooler, and well hydrated and fed.

I wish ya a ton of luck with your kids !


I have seen my adults Grinch and Suess already getting lovey dovey again so in about 7 months or so I guess I will be posting baby pics again
