lol that little container to him is like a 200 gallon tank to a leopard.

[kidchameleon]

what do they eat when they're that small?

anyway, good luck with him, and any others(if they are anymore)

it can gobble down 1/8 crix like no tomorrow, hearty little buggers they are :)

He's so cute :)
Something that size could be impossible to find in anything bigger than a deli cup. I've bred lygodactylus before, they hatch like 1" toothpicks with legs, and could escape through the gap between the tank and screen lid. Do vipers climb glass?

[bidden]

nope, they are desert geckos. Very similar to leo's in care, except 1/3 the size when full grown.

the best feature is their toes, they have tiny barbs' on the end and curl them upwards to walk. You have to see it to understand but it's nothing like I've ever seen before.

That little one is way to cute!!! Congrats on your new little addtion.

I'd be so afraid to lose something that tiny, or to overlook it.

Poor little guy didn't make it :( he wasn't eating for some reason, Hopefully I'll have better luck with the next one.

Well babies are popping out like crazy now. If you missed my post earlier the first one past on after about a week. I now have another hatchling from the same clutch who is just over a week old now and doing great, very active and alert. Man these guys can move fast!!!

I also have 2 new hatchlings from my second clutch that are only a few days old but look to be doing great!! also very active and alert. I'll post pics a little later as they get bigger.
