Last summer I acquired three AGB, a breeding pair + a free additional female. After many breeding sessions, the babies have finally been showing up the past couple months! Some are still very small (1 inch) while others are 2-3 inches. They hang out in the dirt most of the time, but at night if theres a good deal of greens out, I've seen up to 10 or so out at once. I suspect there are quite a bit more under there, especially since it seems there are a few different size groups.
They are in a 10 gallon tank - obviously I'm going to need to start separating these. Space unfortunately is an issue, otherwise I'd have a huge long tank for all of them.
Would it be best to set up another tank and transfer the three adults and let the babies take over the original enclosure? (until they get bigger at least - at which point I'm going to need to give away and sell some I think.) Do these parents do any baby/egg care or are particularly attached to their homes/tunnels, and so moving them would be detrimental? Or would they just go on about their business in the new tank like nothing happened? LOL.
Any suggestions on handing the baby explosion would be great!
