Can you send a video of how you do that? I can’t really picture what you’re trying to explain haha but I wanna know how to make it easier. 😂 I have a bug feeder that I try to dump the flies on with fruit inside so they stay near the feeder for the little guy. Here’s a photo of my feeder. He...

little guy is doing well still! I caught him hanging out near his feeder ready to eat this morning. Got the pin heads today and omg they’re tiny. How long do I feed pinheads before moving up in size? I really had no idea how expensive they were. $68 for 1,000 😱 and they’re a pain to move to a...

Here are more side pics I got today

So far so good he’s moved around in the enclosure a lot today. I think I see a poop or something on a leaf not sure if that’s what it is? I hope the little guy is eating when I’m not watching. I still see flies moving in the container from when I fed yesterday. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 but I’m on poop lookout 👀

I do not know if it’s a boy or girl yet haha I have one with the tail straight. I’ll try to get more 😂

The care sheet I received said to wait on supplements till 2 weeks old I plan on purchasing the multivitamin a calcium soon. Also the grow light has mostly blue light. The image shows the spectrum UVB light is a T5 HO it’s not a 24” light I do plan on upgrading that at some point.

I have a led plant light in the enclosure that it likes to hang out under a lot when it’s had enough uvb. I live in Wisconsin we just started getting colder weather this week. I have a mist king that mists at 8:00pm, 12 am 5 am for a 1.5 min intervals. I leave a fogger on at night as well. I...

I put a food dish higher up in the enclosure. I also added plastic siding to help keep the humidity up as well. The little one seems to be moving a lot more since I put up the plastic as well, now it’s almost night time. Hopefully I’ll see em eat tomorrow 🤞🏼 Again thank you for all the advice...

Okay I will try that tonight. I’ll see what I can find for a dish It was hatched without a yolk sac so I was expecting it to be hungry right away. I did put fruit in it for the flies to stay together. I was just wondering why it wasn’t looking for food yet. I wanna make sure it grows up big and...

It hatched! ❤️

I’m just getting worried the little one might not make it. It just sits up in its perch at the top of the foliage all dark. Doesn’t come down to eat or explore the rest of the enclosure. I appreciate the tip about fogging, I have a screen cage and I’m debating on putting plastic up on the...

My little baby hatched last night. We had a fly culture going since October first and oh boy it’s been a day! The fruit fly culture was all dead! 😭 So drove 1 hour out of town this morning to get flys and then ordered another backup culture for pickup on Wednesday! When the little one...

Here’s a closer look at the end where it’s hatching

Should I move it out of the closet to the enclosure so it can get some light? Not sure if it needs the uvb rays now that the egg is piped
