They look so tiny

Thanks Jacqui, I agree that my babies are so tiny and so darn cute. I wanted to share a cool idea I stumbled upon. I noticed that these lively little guys want to climb and explore, but would fall on their back. After reading your posts about natural habitat and the fact that I DO live in the desert... I followed the advice of my local herp specialist. Desert dirt, rocks, dirt clods all to climb. I also dug in these two little cardboard pots, deep and low one on the same end in each corner. They still fell off on their back to a opened a tp inner cardboard and now they have a bridge and a tunnel and the sleep in there at night, some time one in each sometimes both in one. Here is a photo it shows Yurtle eating his Fav dandelion.
