Feeding the little ones

[Malakyoma]

Took a few photos of the Popa spurca hatchlings chowing down on melanos. The pictures are dark because I took them through the netting of a net cube, and a flash makes nothing visible. Increased exposure time to compensate.

These babies still need a good home if you're interested. Ad can be found here: http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29625

It is funny how some babies look so much like their parents, this is one of them even in the pics you can see what they are!

Especially when they straighten themselves out and stick their little arms out to try and look like the tiniest stick imaginable They're so cute

Cute cute cute! Love the little "twigs" in their youth.

haha, they kill me with their "I am not here pose"

Orion and Twitch do that frequently (L5 T. sinensis). It's hilarious. Like they're trying yoga. Nikki never "twigged." Wonder if it's more of a male thing?

All my P. spurcas do that. It cracks me up. Every time I walk by they are like.... You can't see me lady!!!!
