Yeah, I was also going back and looking at her, but unfortunately I just couldn't take on any more lacies. I do hope to get bells one day, though.

anouc........yes ! as placid as ackies.possibly just a little less flighty. can put finger to within about 2 inches...dont skimp on UV light. NEC black light are fine and cheap....heaps of rock, rough bark etc, for exercise of their claw......unlike most very small rockies, mine do take minced meat..this occasional feeding allows one to make a sandwich with the powders, makeing sure they are really getting their all-important powders

I still don't know what they look like as I should have said "more pipping as of this morning" rather than hatching. It usually takes them a couple of days to actually leave the egg, so there's not a lot to go on just yet other than a nose, a tail and a neck! As of five minutes ago (when I took these shots) they looked like this:

This one pipped yesterday morning and will likely be out of the egg by the time I wake up tomorrow morning.

This one pipped earlier today

and this one pipped later this afternoon
