Congrats! Hydration and humidity are the key with these babies. I used a really fine mist pump with mine (and still do) as itenables me to mist for longer without flooding the cage. You could also set up a fogger for them to help with humidity. Temps should be around 80F as these babies don't like it as hot as the adults do. They also need a good drop in temps at night of at least 10 degrees. Here's a few links for you:

as they get older you will need to move them to a habitat with more ventilation.

This was a spur of the moment setup haha. Im going to invest in a small screen enclosure tomorrow. I only have a 3 ft and a 4 ft screen enclosure at the moment. which are obviously too big lol

Jacksons babies

I happened to have 10 unexpected babies by 2 different females. I kept them in a partial glass enclosure to watch them eat and drink. Fruit flies can get throught the mesh of the screen enclosures , I also fed them pin heads as they grew alittle bigger. I started them on small crickets but not one of them lasted past 3 and a half months. My last one died last week. He was big , looked healthy , color was good, he was hydrated and active. That night he hung upside down ( which was unusual)from his favorite branch and the next morning he was on the bottom . My females are due again and I am kinda bummed about it ,BUT have talked to senior member here in California I might just give them to him! I wish you luck. The guy in the video is awesome!!I need to watch it one more time or 2!!

Wow I didn't realize they're such a hassle. I feel like doing everything to a tee, what the guy said in the video. Did you offer feeders the day they were born?

dude, thats a aquarium, not to be rude or something but the risk of infections for the bad airflow is high, I lost a baby jacksoni in 2 day because of mouth rot, so if you like glass I recoment exoterra terrarium, they should work fine

Justin is a well respected forum member - he helped me a great deal when I got my Jacksons baby back in 2011.
