So I'm a bit late on starting this Journal, as I wasn't fully sure if the eggs were viable as it has taken so long for them to start to hatch, but I came home from being away for two days for work, to find 5 babies sitting in the net breeder. I quickly decided this wouldn't do, and jumped into the truck to head to Big Al's in Edmonton. I originally was just going to grab a second net breeder thing, but they had this awesome 3 compartment isolation/breeder/hang on tank thing.... I quickly grabbed two, as I still have over 20 viable eggs at home.

and then quickly go to work setting it up, as my babies where quickly disappearing under the plastic frame and I did not want them to get squished.
And then I broke out the macro lens and the DSLR, and well I need some more practice as these little critters are so tiny.
And Well I have been observing them doing this little pushup manuver... its like they are strengthening there arms, as they really don't have the hovering thing down yet.
Well I've been told supper is ready so I have to run, I will keep this updated as they progress.
