But some of them wait too long and when they are dried up it's a lot more difficult to shed, because the first shed is very thin and most of the time doesn't come of in one piece. In that case they look like little ghosts with pieces of skin everywhere or they look totaly wrinkled.
You can imagine that's not very plesant for them, so we leave them on moist papertowel for one day and everything is just fine

Thanks so much for explaining it to me.

Because I've been sick for some time I'm a little bit behind with the update of new babies.
But there have been 4 births since last post in this thread

0.0.2 T.elegans terrestris 'red morph' (unfortunately not very much)
One of them has a very orange stripe......interesting

[Gijs & Sabine]

0.0.3 T.atratus atratus (not very much either)




0.0.7 T.proximus rubrilineatus






And there are also 0.0.10 T.cyrtopsis cyrtopsis born, but I don't have pictures of them yet.

Very nice. The atratus look quite 'chunky', Sabine.

[Zephyr]

Wow! Nice! The elegans almost look like plains. :O
