    I know, It's crazy how they fit in the eggs. They all seem to be healthy.

    One hard part with Carpets is that they get better with age. I don't know how to judge what they might look like :o

    before February I would have disagreed! but.... The wife got me a jungle for valentines day. it was a snappy little thing but now its fairly calm. and since then I've picked up a diamond coastal cross, a jag, and a jungle jag mutt. lol ugh cant decide which one I like best so I've gotta keep them all. lol

    congrats on the new babies 3skulls! they look great. wish I was near by to stick my hand in that tub. I get to keep all that latch on right? lol

    Carpets are great can't say it enough! Now with school slowing down ill be able to get some more outta tub time with mine, think I need to build her a enclosure and then get another carpet. It sounds like solid logic to me. How long are you able to keep them in 41qt? I have mine in a 2x4x2

    Depending on growth rate an when you place them in the 41q ~ maybe a year or so..?
    I have a Jungle and a Coastal in 32q tubs right now. They have been in them a little under a year. Just about ready for a new home.

    So we have been peeking in on the babies. The last one to emerge has a nice stripe going on.

    Can't get a good pic but I'm keeping my eye on that for sure.

    Sometimes kids can be cute.
    I do my best to get them interested in snakes, bugs, spiders. The things that most little girls run from.
    Now they will go flipping logs with me. They'll hold the snakes and millipedes.

    Anyways, thought that was cute enough to share.

    They just can't get past having to feed a snake rats.

    I took them to their first expo and they each got a crested gecko.

    So here is a pretty cool story.

    With the website up and trying to find wifi or time to work on it. I'm finally getting the Internet.
    So the guy comes over today. The cable enters my "bug / baby snake" room. He walks in and says, "wait, what's in here, what's all of this?" I said oh they are just tarantulas. He says "ah ok, but there aren't any snakes right,"

    I was like I'm yeah there are a few. So he says he can't do it. Can't work in the house.

    Long story short.... About 15mins later, he is now in the big snake room and holding my male BCI.
    I explained the different type of snakes i had, how some of the morphs worked with BPs.
    Showed him some of the eggs in the incubator. :p

    He had no idea that a snake could be "nice". He went from not even wanting to work in the house to holding his first snake ever.
    Thought that was pretty cool. :)

    No go on the Internet. They have to come out and do some work up on the pole first.

    At first I was getting ticked off. :o

    My girl went down and explained that they couldn't get out and that's when he came back in and started asking about them.
    I guess it could be overwhelming to an outsider. esp. When you have a fear to begin with. The tarantulas really didn't phase him.
    Once he had some trust that the snakes wouldn't hurt him, you could see that he really wanted to hold one.

    I'm not a big people person and I never have anyone in my house. Thought it was cool that he walked away with a different view on snakes.

    Peek out at us babies!!! An cool story, ha It's fun changing people's minds. I've only gotten one afraid person to mellow out so far. Probably doesn't help if people are annoying about their fear I tell them if the ones in the cage bug you your gonna poop yourself when my guard anaconda makes her way out from under the couch. Then I stare at them straight faced like I just said the truest statement on the earth.

    Haha.

    I thought it was strange the tarantulas didn't bother him. I understand how they can creep people out, I can't understand the down phobia. Like when people get freaked out when they are on TV or see a photo.

    And yes these babies need to peek out. Can't wait to get home :)

    I think it's hard to tell ha when I was looking there the other night I was trying to figure that out. It may be to cold for them to be exploding cuz my room is 80, I've got heat pads but no Tstat for them so haven't gotten heat on them

    I think we are going to keep the last one to hatch from the first clutch. He has a couple of nice stripes going on.
    Maybe the first one from the 2nd clutch.

    I'm sure they will change some before they are ready to go out so I might hold back more.

    I have read about Carpet breeders letting some go that they wish they didn't. As they get better with age.
