Default At last!!! Mangrove fed!

I have been lucky enough to have a pair of mangrove hatchlings for the past year. Some time ago, the male decided that he couldn't be arsed with this feeding lark, so assist feeding became the order of the day. Then the female joined his little protest.

After weeks and weeks of this, finally my female has started to feed by herself again!!

Well chuffed! just got the male to start again now. Assist feeding was getting a bit tasty as they are now around 2ft and getting the night time attitude problem!
