Hystrix pups

Congrats, how big are they?

The male is about 3.5", the female just over 3".

Cool! Congrats. Funny we were just talking about her -- (and him) last night.

She must have heard us...


Thanks everyone! Seemed like it took a long time. I'm pretty sure they mated back in late March. Puts gestation at around 195 days. Interesting note is both pups have no yolk sac left. Guess they were in there as long as possible. In the past, my marble pups always had some yolk sac left when they were born.
Here are the pictures.

Thanks! The last few weeks have been torture- check the tank first thing in the morning and first thing when I get home from work.
I suspected she was getting close yesterday. She was going up and down one end of the tank and had pushed the gravel back- something she doesn't normally do. Still ate good last night though.
