So far so good.....

This boy is a survivor! Unfortunately we lost all of the rest of the litter - we think they may have been born a little prematurely - 16 of 21 were dead when we found them, and another 4 died in the first few days. Many never made it out of their birth sacs, and others still had their placenta attached.

BUT the good news is that the mother is fine, and this boy (see spurs for definite sexing) is hanging on and has had four meals of geckos so far. We're cheering for him!
