My first Panther clutch hatched!!!

[WayneL333]

Hello everyone,

It started three days ago on 7/22:

And 21 have hatched so far:

The Sire is Noki from Komeleons and the Dame is Maso-vatomamy from Kammerflage Kreations. Both are from the Ambilobe locales. I can't wait to see what the males turn out to look like!

I've got at least 10 more eggs that needs to hatch. Now the big question is what to do with all of them?!? I guess this is a good problem to have. I want to keep them all but I know that's not realistic. Maybe I'll try to trade a couple, but I don't even space for them either. I'm going to at least grow them out for awhile. They're so much fun! A couple have even started to eat fruit flies. They're so cute with their small tongues. I have 1000 pinheads coming in today. Hopefully that'll last them a good while!

Congrats Wayne! How exciting for you. Babies are so fun. You can spend hours just watching them, then realize you were supposed to go to work! LOL
Enjoy!

Are you going to make it to the meeting in El Segundo tomorrow?

Congrats on the babies!! 1000 pinheads? If it were me I would place another order ASAP. I think you will find that 1000 will only last a few days for 21 babies. I am planning on going through approximately 6-8,000 a week for my 50'ish babies when they hatch. If the other 10 eggs hatch you will probably need 4-5,000 a week, of course if you also have fruit flies that will reduce the number of crickets needed.

Thank you everyone! Yes, it's very exciting to watch them all hatch and explore. I'm sure I'll have my hands full very quickly!

Thanks Tylene! I'm definitely going tomorrow if my son doesn't have lacrosse practice. If he does, I still may be able to catch the tail end of the meeting. I'll hopefully see you there!

Holy smokes! Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, this is all new to me but what an experience!..and an expensive one! I do have a couple cultures of different fruit flies too. I just can't wait until they get big enough so that they start eating small crickets. I think 100's of crickets and flies escape at every feeding!
