Agricolea baby

[insane1818]

So I have a pair, just put together this year. They are in a naturalistic tank. A friend of mine told me it took her a couple years to get some eggs, so I haven't paid much attention and according to my husband, I am not allow to breed until we finish the basement.

Well a few week ago I noticed some eggs at the bottom of the tank. So i took out my pair and proceeded to search the entire tank. I ended up finding 3 good eggs and about 4 or 5 bad ones. So of course I am super excited. I set the eggs up and I woke up this morning to discover the cutest thing ever.



So as soon as I could I went to the store and prepared a setup.


So I really hope this little one does well and that my other 2 eggs hatch too, without my husband noticing

Make sure for the baby you keep humidity high but wetness low... tupperwear will help there. Congrats!

Thank you! I followed JB's video about using Tupperware and coffee filters on 2 sides and the top. So hopefully the humidity will stay up.

i am new to these gex, i ordered a couple babies which will arrive soon. How old are the E. Agricolae before you can tell their gender, and how is your baby doing? did you keep it?

This is quite an old thread!
Usually at about 4 months or so, you can loupe the femoral area. Males will show pores by then. Quite easy to tell from the females.

I sold a few and traded a few. I've had hatchlings in 2015 and 2016 as well. I wait to sex mine, simply because some people I know have found pseudo pores on some of their females. But once they are older the males pores are easily to distinguish, even with the naked eye.
