as soon as they let go i will get some! its a little difficult now as the mother is in her cave and i dont wanna pull her out and disturb her.

Congrats on the spawn, according to THIS profile on TFF the young can spend several weeks clinging to the mother. Also they are cannabalistic, so watch out for the mother eating the young, best to remove them to another tank I would have thought when they are free swimming.

as soon as they are free swimming the mother will be returned back to the crayfish tank and the babies will be in a tank of their own
