'Sticky pearls' somebody once described them as - in a poem of somekind I think? what a wonderful description - they really are! As for the camera - it's a Nikon Coolpix 3200. I've had it about 4 years now and to be honest, it's never been a very good camera - it's certainly not a top of the range one - but it does have this facility to take close-ups. I *do* have my eye on a Canon digital-slr which would mean some fantastic closeups - unfortunately, I only work part-time at the moment, so all those thoughts of super expense will have to go out the window!

The only other babies I have ever looked after have been 'rescues' that have come to me hatched and cramped into small tanks.
These hatchlings have been amazing - given the right conditions and size of tank, their growth rate has been breath-taking!
