New Brevs moving to top of Terrarium

[Woodinville]

Hey gang.....any of you experienced brev owners know the answer to that? I just got a trio of CB young brevs, and they went right to the top of the temporary enclosure I have them in. It's the upper 60's here in Seattle. Think they're just trying to get some extra light? I put them in a 2 gallon clear plastic container to start off with, because they're so small I didn't want to lose them in my exo terra 18x18x24. There are a lot of pinheads and week old crickets in there with them.

Some of the ones I've had do it too for the first week or two, then they settle in.

My male will straight up hang under his florescent UV light randomly...but for the most part my girls stay hidden

Im going to agree with the needs time to settle in statment.

Do you have a pic of their enclosure?

Hey guys, question for you.....at 3 wks of age, could you tell males from female brevs? I ordered 1.2, which I think means 1 male, 2 females? It kind of looks like I have 2 males and 1 female though. Tough to tell about the dorsal ridges, and shorter tails for males. Anything in particular I should be looking for to distinguish sexes?

Shorter tails for females.
Males have a longer tail and eventually an obvious bulge.
Mike knows how to sex them, I'm sure you got the group you ordered.

Cool. I'm sure he knows what he's doing. They're very cool. I just want to make sure they're eating. They already seem to have settled in a bit.

It's often hard with the smaller species to see them when they eat something...
