Long time coming.................

I promised new pics once they submerged in the water -



They are very shy overall.. but do poke their heads out to see what's going on! -



How cute can you get.... I'll go ahead and say it first!!!



About an inch away.. how lucky can you get?



Lookin' thru the glass.....



They're in a 10 gallon aquarium with a 2" x 2" board under one end - with enough water to just touch the high end.. it makes the water maybe an inch deep at the low end - so they are in about an inch of water. The water is kept warm with a 25 watt bulb just close enough to warm it.. located about the middle. The plastic plants give them plenty hiding places. I change the water every other day.

Yesterday they were offered Aquamax/ZooMed hatchling pellets and they were biting at it! :D Woo-Hoo!!!



Maybe I can get a video soon...
