Other Details:

I have a group of 6+ "juveniles" in the BRT. Some were hatched on March 28th and some on April 22nd. I have no idea who the female partner was but the male is from the second hatch/smaller. I only kept them in the BRT because I had nowhere else to put them. I'm guessing on the actual spawn date since I just noticed this today.
