Thanks for the support and yes they are addictive! I'm already trying to calm myself down about the Mid-Atlantic Reptile Show in September. I could have another breeding colony! Okay, I first have to successfully raise and then discover the sex of my new little ones.

I went to the breeder (Shayne of Treehuggers, he mostly sells tree pythons, womas and some other snake the looked really pissed off when he pulled out his rubbermaid) and picked up my new baby today. It looks really alert so far but I haven't observed it eating. The other two are quite happily eating and drinking so I think this one should fall in line as well.

I also got to see the parents of these guys. One parent is a gorgeous red, he was beautiful I believe two came from this breeding colony and the third came from another with another red male with several orange females (one beautiful orange dalmation...soooo nice). Shayne was holding back a third male who was really cool as well, wonderful red coloration even during the day when I was there and it was sort of patchy (more vibrant red in spots than others).

I could honestly go on and on! I know the humidity should be on the higher end but just how high? I have an Acu Rite therm with duel temp and humidity levels. My house stays around 74 degrees and the humidity remains in the high 80s. Right now the three are in a small critter keeper because my other enclosure seemd entirely too large (~20 gal). They have a humid hide, paper towel substrate, a small dish with some baby peaches and CGD available and plenty of fake ivy to climb and hide in. These guys were fed exclusively baby food (chicken and fruit in a 3 - 1 mixture) and I want to bring them over to CGD because that is what most of the caresheets call for. I currently have some small crickets (they have been eating this as well previously) gutloading for a feeding in a day or two. I'm assuming I should be offering the CGD/baby fruit mix all the time cleaning it up every morning and putting it out at night? Obviously if I feed crickets one night I would forgo the CGD. I've not noticed how often to feed babies but my experience with other young animals is that they need smaller meals more often. Is this the case here? Should I leave the CGD/baby mix out all day? I wanted to minimize mold and such.

Okay, I think I've gone a little too far. I'l take a giant breath and wait and see. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
