My Ghost Ooth hatched!!!

[Graceface]

We transferred the babies into 2 separate 32oz enclosures today. Most have molted to L2, but a few haven't yet. Looks like we lost 3 or 4, as I only count 36 now. I could've had an inaccurate count initially, to be fair, so I can't be totally sure. I'm hoping that giving them more space will lessen any potential cannibalism during future molts.  

Here is a photo of them being transferred in a mesh cube via paintbrush. I like to ask, who wants a ride on the magic paintbrush?!

Did they jump everywhere except to the other cup?, those little ones are fast

@Little Mantis Fortunately, they were calm this time. When I had to move them from the ooth cup to their 1st enclosure, they were a handful! They love to jump and run ? Most of them stayed still today and didn't want to be moved to a new habitat. We had a couple stragglers in the excelsior who didn't want to leave!

 I am glad you were able to move them easily. I had another ghost ooth hatch this morning, and I had quite the time separating them all into groups of 6!

Sorry, don't know how I missed this. They are made of plastic canvas, which can be purchased at Hobby Lobby or craft stores. It's about 70 cents for an 8x10 sheet
