Our new Baby CDT's

[68merc]

Thanks to Yvonne, Hannah (my 13 year old daughter) and I have 2 hatchlings. We were able to pick them up Christmas eve first thing in the morning.
Their names are Thing one and Thing two! The darker of the 2 is Thing one because dark comes before light
We got them home and with in minutes they were eating spring mix and some weeds from the yard. They have explored every inch of the habitat and last night about sun down they both went into their hide.
I divided the enclosure to make sure they stay warm and so they don't get lost away from the heat.
They are both eating well and being active.

Here they are.

finleateater, I cheated with the enclosure. Im a carpenter, I build it in the garage. But all the parts came from Home Depot

...and a very good one, by the looks of it. That's pretty tricky how you made the hide.

Beautiful little torts. I'm envious of your carpentry skills :shy:

careful they dont fall off that tile and get turned upside down...
I might have to expand... build more pens...

 

[Tom]

I adjusted the cypress mulch so there is no more drop off. The enclosure is plenty big for the next year to 18 months. :+)
