When did it hatch? Did you keep it moist in the enclosure?

 

[adam&nikki]

it hatchd 3 days ago and what do you mean by moist in the enclosure?

 

[Keith N]

Did you keep misting the enclosure everyday? We keep a spray bottle and mist the walls and papertowel to be moist. I believe most babies as in the case with ours will drink the water droplets from the walls. It may have died from dehydration

but i just lookd at females and they all have eggs in them and one is in the lay bin nowso it can only get better
