The hatchling hasn't survive. I found him dead today in his little viv.
It really s*cks because I don't know what I did wrong.
He had UV light, the humidity was high enough and the temperature was good. I offered him several kinds of food and had the idea that he was eating because he looked like he had eaten. But more luck next time.

Thanks.
I think that the cause of dieing is stress because he just didn't want to eat.
But some good news, i was searching for an extra female for the group and last Sunday I bought 1.1 T.gracilis so I've got now 2.3.

Firstly congratulations on successfully breeding and hatching. I am sorry to hear your hatchling did not survive, but I'm sure you will put all your experiences together and work out how to go about raising your next one. Good luck with any future hatchlings and your colony.
I am interested to hear about your stud group - I'm of to read more about it now. Another Trib breeder from the UK recently stated that he is only one of a handful of breeders worldwide, do you have many breeders in your group? There do seem to be a lot more than a handful of people around breeding them. Anyway, if you want his contact info then send me a pm, you never know you may be able to help each other out somehow.

Hello Angi,
At the moment we don't have that many breeders but we find more breeders every week. The studbook for this species isn't that old (few months) . I heard of one breeder in the Netherlands (don't know his name) and a few that are trying to breed (including myself and the studbook-keeper). And someone in Belgium, i know of a few breeders in Germany (about 5 or so) and a few in England and there are enough breeders in America. I think there are more people breeding this species than we know about.
You can find more information about the studbook at www.studbooks.org that is the website of the European Studbook Federation. You can also contact the studbook-keeper at tribolonotus [a] gmail.com.

I'm keeping a close eye on this species as my daughter has been pestering me to get her some as her next reptiles. She is 8 and has a cornsnake and a beardie. I will give her till christmas and if she is doing a good job of looking after her cat and her reptiles then I may consider it. She has had a good deal of experience with different reptiles as she sometimes helps out at our shop, plus she has bred her corn and help raise the hatchlings.

For a child of 8 I don't think Tribolonotus are that good and fun to keep.
You cant handle them like bearded dragons etc. The best thing to do with Tribolonotus is to leave them alone and only handle them when it is necessary. 'Tribolonotus are very sensitive for stress and they key to success with this species is rest. I leave my animals alone for 99 % of the time, I only handle them when there is no other option (weighting of changing there vivarium). So it can happen that I don't see them for a few weeks.

I have to agree with Jordi's points here and i too only handle/touch my tribs when absolutely neccs.
They seem to get quite stressed with the whole handling experience tbh and the older they get the more they dislike being disturbed.
I'm sure you will no doubt be supervising your daughters budding herpin traits angi ,so perhaps gettin a species that needs to left alone can be really educational for her in many aspects.The thrill of seeing the lizard appear naturally in the viv from time to time is something i still get a buzz from myself.
