I even had to help a few of them get out of their membrane, and try to keep mom from eating them. (she was after the membranes, not the babies). after a few feedings, I was dad! they would come rushing over to me when I placed my hand in their enclosure. Man it was cute! But I didn't handle them much. They were very tiny and delecate. I did put my hand in their enclosure a lot to gain trust though.
isn't it just the sweetest thing, how trusting they become of you after a few meals!
