I did a reptile and invertebrate show at a Pacoima elementary school today (I hope the teacher sends me photos -- if he does, I'll post them), and I took the Tiger Hissers, of course.
I discovered to my sorrow that the last female had died (so I have 4 adult males left), and was feeling pretty sad thinking that Tiger Hissers might actually go extinct in this household, when lo and behold I found 10 of these little guys in the substrate!
YAYYYY!!!
I had to put them in a separate container, because they can squeeze through the openings in the top of the critter keeper the adults are in. But I am just so *thrilled* to finally see some babies again after so long (and after my last two remaining females had both passed away).
Here's a picture of my "mas macho" male, so you know what the adults look like:
I just hope he was the father! ;-)
