My first EVER baby!!!

clover · 23-09-2010, 11:38 AM

Hi, I am soooo excited, one of my 21 eggs is hatching after 82 days!!!! Tha majority were obviously not fertile. Please can you suggest housing for him/her? I don,t think any more will hatch so he/she will probably be alone. I have a mega ray lamp but will that be too strong?? Also what size house and substrate suggestions would be fab. Thankyou for your help. I have lots to learn.

You can house them pretty much the same as the adults. Just make them up a table as big as you can allow, use a soil substrate, add decor, the megaray should be fine, maybe a couple of bathing pools would be good too to keep the little guy well hydrated. And don't panic!!
