I've been breeding these guys for many years.
They are fun and ultra low maintenance, and can be kept in 3.5 gallon tanks with just a layer of play sand and a little water dish.
They don't even require bugs. I have raised several generations of these on a complete diet of fancy feast cat food.
This photo is two litters both born on the same day.

Congrats!
How many clutches have you raised now? Seems you post about them every year, so you must be a grandpa to many by now?
