Hello everyone,

6 weeks ago my beautiful specimen ( a Paraphrynus) birthed around 50 babies without my knowledge.

I acquired her a couple of weeks before the said birth, and the seller wasn't aware of her pregnancy somehow.

Anyways, since I was unfamiliar with the entire protocol, i was leaning on his guidance for basically every decision surrounding the babies.

I managed to reap 46 babies, all of which I've separated in their own tanks.

I gave back 40 of them to the seller, but I kept the other 6 for myself. I wanted to see them grow up, and the vendor didn't really give me the feeling he cared about them...

Anyways, I am currently in this phase where I don't know how to ensure the best living conditions for the babies.

So I'm currently keeping them in little plastic containers placed vertically, with a cork bark against the wall, and substrate at the bottom.

So far they've only been fed springtails every couple days, which I've never seen them consume.

As of today, I'll start feeding them flightless fruit flies.

The mother is well fed and happy in her enclosure, but her colors are quite dull, which makes me think that a molt is approaching.

Does anyone have any tips towards a young dad of 6 ?

Thank you in advance
