Well, basically they just hold on tight to each other to stay on the back! Very cute.

And yes, tis awesome how well she looks after them.. almost got got today

I'm not sure when they go darker... they do with each moult.. though dont know how long it takes. They have moulted once so far...

My adults in a faunarium, with soil, heat mat on the side, couple hides and a water bowl.

Babies are in little tiny ventilated tubs, 27/28C ish, moist kitchen towel on bottom, little tube for a hide.

Feed a suitably sized prey item every 3-4 days or less for adults.

If you want one, I'll have 27 (hopefully) in a few weeks... just to make sure they are feeding.
