Nothing particularly special or rare about these guys, but for me it's pretty exciting, as I've been trying to reproduce them for years. Never caught my T. o. ornata laying eggs, but apparently a clutch incubated in-ground. This was the exact sight I saw upon opening their enclosure this morning that made me scream with joy like a little girl.
There were five hatchlings in total, but one was dead. No idea how long they had hatched for, but yolks were completely absorbed, and they were quite feisty and lively little things.
I decided to set them up individually in containers inside of a closed chamber.
The one above was already chowing down on some soaked mazuri aquatic in the water dish.
Pretty excited about these guys. Hopefully more to come!
