[freekygeeky]

ALthough iuts nto all good news, im gonan split them up, he is a very manly man..... lol

Anyway, she has done me proud


Now graham is gonna put this on the more uroplatusssyy forum, but i thought i would ask here as i know some of you have them..
The male was acting very oddly, when i just found the eggs...
Firstly, they never show them selves in the day time...(can never find them) and he was out.
Secondly he was digging the eggs up, and shoving his head in to the ground.
Thirdly he wouldnt stop, i tried to stop him, as he was damageing the eggs, but he just kept digging downwards..
Forthly he stopped when i sprayed him.. but has anyone witnessed that behaviour..he wasnt gaurding them..mayeb they are infertile and he knows it? (how ever they generally stick them if they are infertile) i have some pics, but film woludl of been better.





anyone have any ideas?

Congrats Gina (and Graham!)
The eggs look good to me.......generally, spherical white eggs lightly rolled in substrate mean fertile and sticky blobs stuck to branches etc. mean infertile so I would bet they're fertile.
I've never heard of a male showing interest like that in eggs. I'm going to keep an eye on the thread on GU (I'm guessing that's where you meant?) as I'd be very interested to hear if this has been seen previously....
