Nice animals.

Nice pictures Will! Especially the one of your male. I do hope you'll manage to fatten up your female some, hip bones shouldn't be visible like that.

Very lovely photos! They'll look even better if you could get a side shot of your alpines. I always love them in their breeding clothing.

Earthworms Will, every other day!

That female looks pretty skinny, maybe you should keep her on her own till she fattens up.

hi guys, the female has earthworms everyday, and i also leave a few pinhead crickets in there for her, she won't eat earthworms unless she's in the water for some reason and it takes her 3 or 4 strikes before she grabs it...
