Well I went to just have a look at our local reptile shop today and ended up pitting a deposit on a pewter hatchling. Collecting next weekend.

She is teeny tiny! About 6inches long at the most. I think the exoterra start up faun would be far too big and was thinking of putting her in a 4L plastic storage tub until big enough for a faun?
Dimensions H23.2 x W38.1 x D26.7cm

Will this be a suitable option? If not do I put her straight in the starter faunarium? Or is there a smaller one I could get?

Thanks

you could either keep her in the transport tub or in the small faun but deck it out with plenty of cover and hides to make her feel safe

haha, I'm the same with with Pewters, anything with Charcoal in it I absolutely love, so I agree pics

We keep our freshly hatched boys and girls in 0.75 L RUBs and after a few months they get upgraded to 5L RUBS, then to faunariums and then they get to live in the adult corn racks which house 33L RUBs.

I've got my new hatchling in a 5 litre sandwich box. It's nice and secure with clips on all 4 sides, is big enough to let him move around but small enough that he feels secure.
