Which brings my total up to six chahoua. Since march. Intervention? Nahhhh!

First up, is Bitte from our very own Andrew Liu. Who I shall call Lil Bit til she's over 5g. She's the tiniest gecko I've ever purchased, weighing in at 3g of pure awesome. She's been very alert, and moving around so I don't think she's any worse for wear from the trip.

wearing a moss hat to set off her own mossy tones ;)

This is a medium exo breeding box. And here I thought it would be a tad small for her!

She can sit on a single leaf :D

And then we have Zuko, my 2nd Big Fat Geckos PI baby. Unrelated to Sokka, so if I get a pair out of them, they'll be fine to match. More pics once he's shed :)

Hard to look cute while shedding old skin, but somehow he manages it

With 1.1.3 PI I am hoping I will get atleast one of each out of the kids. Since they are all unrelated, and all gorgeous, any combo would be a good pairing at this point. :)

Now my next ventures are pairing up my Momo, my sara, and Roku my GT chewie! I'm super excited to feed all six of my chewie tribe tonight. SUPER excited :D

And a shot of Bitte's new bugcup. Its a 1/2oz cup hot glued to a teeny piece of slate.
Nice and heavy so she can get in and out without tipping it over, and the perfect size for teeny roaches so I can leave some in with her at all times.

How do you know what to look for in babies?
In regards to adult patterns that is

The best idea is to take a look at mom and dad. Other than that I like a more---reduced? pattern on my chahoua. Sokka and her sibling (owned by MPLexus) are a good contrast.

They do change a ton as they grow. Its hard to describe, but I look for what I like lol. Contrast, a more widely spaced pattern, and I like a little white on my chewies. My older three don't have any, but the younger three all do.

Are you referring to the chewie mplexus posted about September 17 from tremper? If so I do see the difference between that one and Sokka for sure. Sokka has a much more reduced and lighter pattern, whereas mplexus's seems to have more color and pattern.

Get what you like, is always a good way to choose. Ha.

The chewie underneath "New PI addition" is Sokka's clutchmate

Man they change so much so fast. Glancing at those pictures is kinda crazy - SS already looks completely different! I need to take some new pics of everyone.

Congrats on the two new ones meg. Zuko looks great...and a lot like Sokka at first glance!

Both little ones have attempted to eat roaches! Zuko caught 3/5 of his, and little Bitte must have eaten 1 out of her five. Another got loose, and the only way that would happen with that dish, is if she went in there. No other way those little bugs could escape. So I am just tickled that both kids want to eat live food!

There have been marks in the cgd left by both teenypantses and both are exploring, and finding their favorite spots to sleep and spend the days.

I'd take more pics, but I'm gonna give it a week or two before I bother them again ;) I did just take some of Roku though! Those will be up tonight!
