Damn, how many did you start with? I started with 10 and luckily and a fair bit of fiddling I still have 10, and some of them are HUGE now I guess I ws the lucky one then. I think my lot had already been breeding when i got them as they started popping out eggs almost as soon as I got them, and they were a little on the thin side, but most of them have bulked up nicely now. I have 3 adults from the group that I have had to pull out and pop into hatchling boxes though as I need to get them to eat a bit more and fatten up, and they seem to do really well in those, 1 has already re-joined the main group the other 3 are being a bit more stubborn, but that's not unusual apparently with fattails. They are all taking meal worms now thankfully and the babies haven't been given any option Shame you got all boys, but like you said you can keep the nicest one back and mate him back to mum. I plan on borrowing my daughters Amel male to put through any female babies I have, and possibly some of the females from the main group as well, wan't to see if I can prove them out as hets next season, looking at the babies I think there is a pretty good chance, so fingers crossed.

Haven't sexed mine yet, I do need to do it though, I'll try and get some pictures of the babies and parents up at the weekend if I can find the time, it's manic here!! This month is looking like being wild for leos hatching.

hi. I brought an adult male AFT from you (ark reptiles) today at barking. I was just wondering whether it was one the ones in the pic at the beginning?

thanks
