We tried waxworms today and:
Ilex and Sunbird took them immediately. They both love mealworms, so no surprise there.
Sidewalk watched one wiggle in front of his face, very confused, but eventually gently grabbed it.
Saffron Finch and Corpse Reviver were ambivalent. They definitely prefer their crickets.
Apollo and Roridula did not partake.

I've never seen this mentioned anywhere, but it seems like most mantids really like CGD. I feed it to them as an occasional treat.
#fun fact of the day I suppose#I discovered this when I had my first mantis and forgot to clean tongs once. he completely ignored the bug for the CGD

Day 65. Starting to see some little striations on the eggs. Getting more impatient by the day.

Checking pores on the growouts today. These two (Saffron Finch and the unnamed baby) are most likely male.
Corpse Reviver is most likely female
And Ilex... probably male? I want to say those shiny spots are pores but I'm not terribly sure.

I am curious when my eggs will hatch. The incubation box tends to average 73° (generally between 72-75°) which is fairly standard. Crestie incubation times seem to fluctuate wildly, so they could hatch next week or not be ready for 2 months. Based on how the eggs I candled looked, I'm guesstimating at least a few more weeks before hatch.
#it varies based on room temp and also egg size (at laying)#i keep the eggs slightly cooler than my geckos. since there seems to be some evidence that geckos have better structure when hatched cooler#curious as to how true that is since misinfo spreads in crestie circles like none other#but i couldn't prove it myself (though i would love to have the ability to do that experiment)

Look who I found in my backyard! Cute little Eastern Hognose
Cute little feller he was. I love how snake can look scary from up top but the second you get a front view, he’s just a wittle goofy guy.

"why is my crestie biting me and squeaking" he wants to make sweet love to your hands "why is my crestie shaking her head and squeaking" she wants your hands to make sweet love to her
#*head in hands* it's spring you know what that means *sobs in owner of multiple cresties*#tis the season of washing hands between handling anyone. because they are horny little beasts right now
