Aneides flavipunctatus hatching

It's time!

It looks like a miniature trapeze act! Do they always all hatch at the same time?

How cute!!

Pretty much they all come out within ~36 hours of each other, same with lugubris and vagrans (at least in my experience).

What a wonderful photo, did the female lay them on the 'ceiling'?

 

[Kaysie]

How often do they hang around the nest? (pun intended)

Thats so cool! I love how the dangling eggs add to the pictures!

Yes, the female "hung" them, and they hung there for about 80 days. They are a bit larger than I expected at hatching, closer to lugs than vagrans.

Here's a pic from today, very cool greens coming out on them, unfortunately they're the wrong locale to hold it.

neat

I wonder how they hang their eggs? That is neat that they do that but why?

Congrats on the hatchlings!!
