While those odd fellas are trying to determine how backwards I am. Life at Goanna Ranch goes on. By the way, if they are forward, then I REALLY REALLY want to be backward.



In our discussion below, I mentioned a gouldi female was down nesting. She came up today and looked like heck. The night she went down it rained a lot. The gilleni that was also down nesting, came up after the rain and I took her whole group inside. Will keep you updated on how that move worked out. I really hate moving them when they are near nesting.



Anyway, heres the series,



As you can see, she is covered in wet substrate.







I have consistantly seen, the wetter the substrate, the larger the cave they put the eggs in. If its dry, they cover the eggs in dirt. Those are the two extremes. How much the eggs are covered and the size of the cave is directly relate to wettness.





Also have some ackies hatching, these are from three days ago.







These are hatching right now. Cheers
