Baby Northern arrived! (Picture heavy!)

Postby Sarikazam » Wed Aug 15, 2012 2:33 pm

Etsy finally arrived today from Mel! :D According to the mail lady her box spent the night upside down and they thought that whatever was inside was probably dead :dead:. Encouraging. Anyways gladly she was wrong and baby Etsy came out with lots of huffing and skittering! I think I am going to choose a different name for her, but I always have trouble choosing names so if you have any suggestions feel free to... suggest! Anyways, I know how things go around here so without further ado, pictures!

Glad it worked out! Mine got dropped off at work, so unfortunately I just got home with her an hour and a half ago. Those pictures are amazing!!! She seems so much more adventurous than Emma does. Did Etsy seem scared at all ?

Oh absolutely :lol:. She is pretty good if I stay in one spot and don't move for a for a while, then she forgets about me and I can move around her (from a distance) without her spazzing out and hiding. But if I put my hand in the terrarium she huffs and crab walks away.

I can't wait to see pictures of your Emma!! :D

Thank God! I will post pictures shortly, I just made another hide for her out of her cardboard box for the time being. I wasn't anticipating her to be this scared so I will just let her be for a while before I pull out the cam. Such a big tank for such a little baby. haha. Your pictures are amazing though!

I think lots of hides are a good idea, for the first few days they are bound to be scared and skittish :P
My older skink Bruce still hasn't come out from hiding and it has been almost two weeks! But Etsy is out and about and checking everything out. Maybe it is because she is younger... but anyways, I am sure Emma will come around shortly :)

Soon I promise! I haven't had much luck with pictures yet and don't want to irritate/stress her any more Than she is. She is definitely a lot more shy than etsy that's for sure !

I woke up this morning and couldn't find her anywhere. I got nervous so I lifted up both of her hides and she wasn't in either. I found her completely buried in the substrate. It made me so sad tO see her like that!! But hopefully soon with lots of love I will get her exploring and running around!

Oh alright I understand that problem, it is the exact thing I am going through with Bruce :P I actually had to bring him out briefly to get pictures since he wouldn't have come out on his own. But that was after a few days already...

It is funny you mentioned that because the exact same thing happened last night with my baby too! I couldn't find her anywhere, even under her hides so I guess she has to be under the substrate and I am really trying to resist digging her out xD

I think that is just because she was in a new place, and was hungry since she didn't eat for a week. :P
Since last night she has been hiding in the substrate, under a hide. I expect I will be going through a hidden period for a few days until she feels hungry/ bold enough to start coming out again.

Ok. Thank you for replying. I put food in the cage for him and he came out had some then took a drink and went back in his hide. And has pretty stayed there all day i believe.

I think that is all you can hope for, for a little while anyways. At least you are seeing him come out and eat and drink! It gets me when you don't see them at all and then you start wondering if they are eating or drinking. Like with my older Merauke, since I got him about two weeks ago I haven't seen him come out on his own yet even to eat or drink. So although I am sure he is fine, I get all paranoid :oops:
