Thanks for all the advice.
I just finished installing extra lighting to their cage, so if I can't get them out for their daily sun, they won't be missing out on anything.
When they moved in, one was constantly waving at the other. Now they wave together. If that is submissive behaviour... I think I am going to have a problem... :P
They don't seem to like anything to eat except crickets. They will go mad chasing them round the cage, but greens (peas, lettuce, bok choy, mushrooms, bananas) and pellets hold no appeal for them. Any ideas on how to encourage them to eat ?
Scratch appears to be shedding. I put some branches in with them today and Scratch was right up on them instantly, rubbing his/her face madly. Now he/she/it has little patches of skin hanging off.
Scratch also started gulping tonight. Four in a row. My partner leapt up and in between hunting for the mist bottle, explained that the girl he picked them up from said that was a bad sign and they needed cooling, instantly. (Gee, thanks for telling me now!!
) Anyway, misted them up and they instantly started lapping the water off each other and the branch they were on. Looks like they have no idea what the water dish is for either.
As for the q about Barbadus and Vitticeps. Apparently Barbadus tend to be about 5 centimetres bigger as adults. Barbadus also have a lateral line of spines down each side and over their forearms. I havn't seen the two side by side, so I don't really know.
[edit note] - rang the breeder, apparently they were born 1st December. So, just a tad more than 3 weeks old.
