How big my hatchlings are getting!
The Musk pair were born in February and getting some decent personality to them now larger and not as timid. Not had any more Musk eggs until recently as my male Common Musk was ill and under-weight earlier in the year so needed time on his own to recuperate and eat lots. Better now, so should see more eggs in the next month or two for more babies in Spring.
Incidentally, I have 4 surprise Common Musk/Razorback Musk hybrid hatchlings growing out in n a separate tank now. They are a surprise in that the father razorbacks are only a couple of years old!
The Reeves hatchlings continue to amaze me with their beautiful markings and outgoing personalities. You can definitely see their Mum's(Rudo) bright orange coloration becoming more apparent in them as they mature.
The other surprise who is in this video is the False Map hatchling, who managed to survive despite the egg splitting open prematurely at 44 days. He is skittish, as per the species, but swims like a champion.
Enjoy the footage and feel free to hit me up if think you can look after some of these beauties in the manner they deserve for as long as you can.
