    My first eggs!

    this morning i found two pearly white eggs in a little nest my cresty had dug. i had caught them copulating a week ago so i thought i had more time to provide a nest box but i guess the male must've been an excitable little guy
    no pics, but i thought i'd share... i'm excited! plus i have one, possibly two gravid carpets.

    Re: My first eggs!

    Congrats! Did you just put them together a week ago or is that just the first time you actually saw them copulating?

    Re: My first eggs!

    i've always kept them together in a rather large viv... that just happened to be the first time i saw the copulate. last nite i caught them goin' at it again though. i guess i may have to separate them afterall to avoid issues for the female.

    Re: My first eggs!

    Wow, must be pretty warm where you are incubating them? You might try putting your incubator somewhere a little cooler so they incubate a bit longer.

    Congrats though--can't wait for some pics!
