Hi
Does anyone have any tips at how you determine between 7 babies in order to keep check of their weight...or will I just be able to tell?
Thanks
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

I tend to use a minimal dot of nail varnish on the marginal scutes. You can either use various colours or work around the marginal scutes so the first marginal scute signifies the 1st hatchling.
