Elephant Hawk Moth Chrysalis Update!! 

+Adam Moore hahaa, yep he did! so much stuff!

Adam Moore - It's not crap, its extra body fluid that is used to pump into it's wings.

+AProudCatLover omg same! :') thank you!

very cool:) glad i'm not the only woman who likes raising insects:)

Hi we have lime green hawk moths that we are hoping will hatch some time soon this month we had had them about 8 month too c

hi i know this was ages ago but i just found one and im not sure how i water it while its not crisalised

@@leopardgeckotalk I’ve tried to message you on insta pleade can you help me I have a elephant hawk moth that’s been trying to get out of his chrysalis. I’ve had her for 8 half months and I’m desperate for advice. The wings and her head is our now but the chrysalis is stuck on her body onlu and no improvement with her removing it :( can you help me, I’m desperate for advice. Do I need to lightly mist the chrysalis??

Robbert Nyhan it eats non stop in its larval stage so it has enough energy to complete its metamorphosis. The wriggles are a method of deterring predators and doesn't use that much energy and only does it when they feel threatened or are close to emergence to stretch out a bit

+BRICKTOP yeah as you can tell I was pretty surprised haha

How did it go?

@@smileyface245 great - he/ she was released after a day indoors.

+David Prcev aw thank you!

+Leopard Gecko :)

+Rayli Hall thank you :D

+Fabian Ziora Britain? I guess, hahaa. Probably north America? You may have to google it.

+Oscar Wainwright yeah fortunately we didn't get snow but I know surrounding areas did, but I did film this a week or two ago. Since then its just been boiling :)

+iseslc yep :) as much as id love to keep it, it must complete its purpose in life and find a mate

+Leopard Gecko I'm so happy that you are :D

Becareful, could find a mate or its predator, Bats or Birds

+Albino Tortoise you wont have to wait too much longer :)

Leopard Gecko Yay! I can't wait

+Eadric Shannon only when I was on holiday. I know we have one or two native lizards here but never seen them before.

Leopard Gecko What I spotted was a "common" or viviparous lizard. I walked past it as it was busy sunning itself on a tree-stump...but the HOLY GRAIL of lizards to spot here in the UK would be the sand lizard. Pretty sure they're only found on the south coast, and you sound like a southerner so... x)

I have found one at a camp in megernie Scotland. I am not certain but I think is wasn't a newt or something like that because it had a thin tail. I have not done the research so please correct me if I'm wrong. It was a dark green colour and was about as long as an adults finger from head to tail

+Beenjamin Bingham doesn't that depend on what pattern will be on its wings? for example painted butterflies will show up red, with black spots, because you can see its wings through the chrysalis.

+Lawson hudon Im sure she will follow that order as soon as she reads it Lawson....

+Lawson hudon haha I appreciate your enthusiasm for my geckos but I plan, film, edit, produce atleast 4 videos at one time, its crazy, so you may have to wait lol. I usually give updates on my weigh-in vids that I do at the end of each month.

+Matt Irons yep, I mean I've left it long enough, I wouldn't want to mess it up at the last hurdle :)

I did that once as a kid because I had it as a caterpillar and watched it do everything and finally hatch out because I was worried it would die and the moth ended up having a gimpy wing but it was so friendly...it would just sit on me happily and it lived for quite a while as I remember and my friends thought it was amazing that I actually hatched my own from a caterpillar (back before kits were a thing and I just did it straight from nature)
