one green dot, weighs 27.5g and has just shed skin very yellow and has a button. Baby #2 (PIT 026 590 S89) gets two green dots, weighs 31.5g, and has gray brown colors and a prebutton. Baby #2 and the one that escaped were both pre-shed and in front of F31; Baby #1 was 30 cm away (to W). We return at 100h and find F31 same place and a baby curled in front of her: Baby #3 (PIT 026 791 065) has gray brown colors, weighs 28g, has a prebutton and gets three green dots. We get to release all 3 at entrance and they crawl out of sight. F31 turns and tongue-flicks second baby; as the third crawls by she slowly moves to the exact position as yesterday and faces into the cavity. We spot a shed baby skin (presumably #1) in grass beside the rock, very close to where Maceio caught Baby #1. At 1210h F21 rattles briefly from out of site as we approach and catch 2 of a pile of her 4 feeding babies, same spot at entrance as yesterday. Baby #3 (PIT 025 874 514) prebutton, 35g, 3 green spots. Baby #4
