ROFL LOVE how they're all watching her! She must've put on a good show!
CONGRATS~!

I had to put all kinds of stuff to keep them from going right up to her. You can see in the third picture. Even then it was a pain! Even the sulcata tryed to jump the wall..

Great news and excellent pictures Hopefully all 6 will be fertile.

Great pictures! Just out of curiousity, because I know nothing about breeding. Why don't you leave the eggs where she lays them? Does'nt the female get angry when you take her eggs?

I dunno about RF's, but with my Russian, she is in such a trance when she's laid eggs (like totally hypnotized) that I can lift up her rump and remove the eggs and she doesn't have a clue! She just goes on with what she's doing, and when she's done, she has no clue I've taken the eggs, and she totally buries her nest and everything!

exactly what I did.

So she doesn't even notice they are gone? She doesn't "check' on the babies? They are basically on their own then. interesting.

What great pics. I love the waiting room. Congrats, fingers crossed you'll get all 6.

wow! the waiting room photo is hilarious!
congrats on the eggs. i hope they all turn out to be healthy happy babies
