Here are some recent pictures of our baby Quadricornis' that hatched a few months ago. They are getting bigger and eating crickets, fruit flies and phoenix worms like crazy. The males are beginning to show the crest on their tails. Still not as good looking as their father yet though..

AJA, it's really not that hard. I mean, two just appeared at our door last week! ;)

Josh,

They're doing great. They're little eating machines and just like you said, they love their water. I'm in the process of setting up an RO unit and the mister this week. can't wait until they're a little bigger. It's getting harder and harder to find those little buggers in the small schefflera.

I'll post some new pics soon.

Thanks,

Luis
 
Benny,

One thing you will find is that in the hot climates here, like Florida, and Vegas, you will encounter some incredibly effective AC units in the houses, and buildings. I have never been to Florida, but in Vegas it is all so easy to forget about the 110' weather, because everywhere you go it is air conditioned to the point where you almost want to bring a jacket with you anyway.lol. I know that there is a large population of keepers in Florida, who are successfully keeping all types of species, Montane included.
 
Ha! We are in the midst of an energy Crisis. But try living in 100+ deg weather and call Air Conditioning a waste. In certain places it is a life saver!

EDIT: Sorry Josh... Didn't mean to hijack. How long was you incubation on these eggs?
 
AJA,
We have a few babies left, if you don't get one of these guys, remember we have 24 or so eggs that are incubating right now and should hatch in about 2 months or so. That should be enough time to get things set up and such.. Don't worry, you have time.
 
These guys incubated for almost 6 months, then it took all of them only 2 days to hatch. The eggs we have now have about 2 or so months to go and unfortanetely one of our females is pregnant yet again. She is going to take a break this time if she likes it or not.

Yeah they like to hide but aren't they little eating machines? They are always hungry, but it is so fun to watch them grown, their little personalities are coming out and you can see which ones are more dominant then the others. Keep the pictures coming, like to see how they are doing, so glad to hear that they are doing well.

Oh, one of my favourite topics to make me unpopular: The energy wasting in the USA :eek:

Benny,

Unfortunately in Florida and other areas in the Southern US, such air conditioning units are necessarily even if they are an incredible waste of energy. In the summer months, temperatures over 35 degrees C can be fairly common and the humidity tends to average over 85%. This combination causes terrible mold problems that cause the houses to rot if you do not cool and dry the air inside the houses using air conditioning units. In my own house, I have my air conditioning for the house set to one temperature and then I have an individual room where I keep my montane chameleons cooler. It has its own air conditioning unit to regulate the temperature and then I use misting systems to help maintain humidity. It definitely is not cheap, however. With my normal house AC, the AC unit in my chameleon room and then all of the lighting for all my reptiles, my electric bill was over $350 last month.

Puh, there's another problem: If your houses are build massive you'll never have problems with a house which rots or which will be complete destroyed by a hurricane. I know I make myself unpopular again, but they way in which are much houses in the USA are built would be called here cottage or summer house

I hate to add to the off topic banter... but how would the size of a house effect the mold or how it would stand up in a hurricane? :rolleyes: Both are factors of Material and construction.
 
I have them in a room that rarely goes above 75-76. They are misted three times a day for moisture and the RH stays about 60-70 throughout the day. They are adorable. I think one of them will be a male. It has similar tail features as the one you described here. I look forward to your next clutch as well. ;)

Here is a pic of them sleeping the other night.
