That was FAST!





I have been letting the little fellows settle in, but due to the wet weather here in Sydney atm I was concerned the soil in the enclosure was retaining too much moisture. It was which  rectified by adding more dry soil, but before I added the mix I checked to see if I was going to smother any egg deposits. Not only did I find two egg clusters I also found hatchings, that's only 23 days since I collected the first specimens.
I have separated the hatchings and the eggs to a different container, where I can more adequately maintain conditions.
