N.v.dorsalis efts eating

[slowfoot]

I shot a couple of poor quality videos of my N.v.dorsalis efts at feeding time. They are all eating chopped earthworms daily now, but still growing very very slowly. Sorry for the lack of light - they prefer the dark:

Nice!

What is that they and the worms are sitting on?

Also where do you get your worms from?

Thanks for the comments!

I grow my own worms in a big bin in the garden. I chop them up and put them on moist paper towels for the efts to eat, mostly so I can change the paper towel later when it gets nasty. Most of the efts' enclosure is coco fiber substrate and dead leaves to hide in. It's just easier to put the food on a clean background, and easier for them to see it.

Everytime I see your gang Erin, it makes me want this species even more. It's a shame there aren't very many people working with them.

Well, I'll probably have to start looking for good homes for a few of them in a couple of months (I won't be able to keep them all as adults). So let me know if you want me to keep you in mind
