well, it finally happened.

I don't know if any of you remember about a month ago I found 7 eggs in my cresties tank. I didn't think they were even laying eggs so it was quite a surprise. I guess they had been in the hide for a while. lol, cuz this is what I found tonight at 11 pm.




She, or he, is now out and housed in a small critter keeper with some fake plants and moist papertowel.
I read that I shouldn't expect her to eat for at least a couple days but now I'm going to be nervous for the first little bit. I don't know if she has a sibling coming as well or if she was a lone egg. I have 3 females and all of them are first year breeders. 2 already laid abot 4 eggs before I got them so I thought they were done laying as I heard cresties dont' usually lay many eggs their first year. Surprise to me. I also found 2 more eggs Monday and I believe another female is going to lay soon, she was in the hide yesterday checking things out.
I'll post more picks later if I get time, but right now I'm trying to leave the little one alone as much as possible. Thanks for looking.

It is VERY possible, that he would be the father because my other male crestie is very yellow. lol, now, I could be wrong, but he looks like he's going to be a fire. I haven't disterbed him much yet. I do want to get some pictures oh so badly but I want to make sure he is not too stressed out in the process. This is my first little one.

he hatched out July 30th, when should I offer food? And should it be crickets to start or can I give him baby food or cgdiet as well from the start? Thanks Hilde, I hope that little boy is the dad and hope he does a good job for you as well.

That's awesome!
Congratulations!
It's so hard not to take a billion pics isn't it!
You can start feeding him/her usually within a couple days after hatching, as soon as he/she has gone through the first shed. I start mine on all of the above (except I use the GGD), and I've found that it can sometimes take them a while to "acquire" a taste for babyfood and the GGD, so I offer them crickets quite frequently.
Good luck!
James
