    little heckels

    continue from my previous post since i can't add anymore pictures. these heckels are very skinny but they eat everything except dry food, so de worming program is being undertaken.

    same question will the stripes color intensify as they grow older? thank you.

    yep, the stripes will get darker and the color will get better as they grow up, a dark substrate and background will help as well.

    thank you illusn. similar view as taksan. i guess the point is to create a more natural darker environment as where they came from and then they will look the best. i was not too keen on getting wilds before because i heard several members saying that they are harder to keep, very picky with food. i guess i am lucky that they eat everything except dry food. thanks again.
