Late this year which is probably related to the cold spring/summer in Germany BUT on the day of our great win against Argentina my female laid 8 eggs last night.. attached few pics in rubbish quality..

Female starts digging the nesthole. Every year she is using the same place under a few solid rocks:

Nesting hole:

8 eggs. Chicken Egg for comparison:

Female is protecting the clutch heavily

Hey karsten!
Thats great! love the little babies i got from you! they are doing great and they look great!
Please post more pics!
wish you the best success with this new clutch of eggs!
Cheers!

Great looking cage too do you have more pics of that. That's something I've always loved about european keepers is they focus more on large naturalistic set-ups instead of trying to set up everything on newspaper on a rack.

Hi Eshan, nice to see pics of the hatchlings very busy at the moment with project work and not often here...

there is a thread with pictures of that cage somewhere here.. have to put some new ones because my folks damaged all plants

Yes. In Europe most guys are more focused in naturalistic looking cages rather than in easy to clean breeding facilities.. thats only possible if you keep a few pairs..Otherwise is would be to time intensive.

Thanks karsten! yes i did see the pics of your cage! its incredible.. im moving to a new place this year and im going to do my cages just like yours by the way Germany really kicked some A** against Argentina hope you guys take home the Worldcup!
And tell me when they hatch

Here is a naturalistic terrarium in my living room.. its about 6'x6'x3' (ca 180cm X 180cm X 90cm)
I made it from sheet metal, glas and the fake rock background is made of styrofoam melted with a heatgun.. it takes a little bit of practice to make it look real.

Congrats Karsten, hope they hatch!! Thats indeed a great looking enclosure you have.

I really hope we will play against eachother in the final, and than ......... we win this time

hehe..we will... but I suspect Germany to win

the clutch this year don't look so nice as the last years, but we will see..Incubate the first month with more humidity..

come on kamiel. you know this won´t happen . look at teh teams our team beats and how they win the matches. so all the best to your team and i´m shure they will make it to the final. but germany will win

sorry for of topic.

at karsten concrats to your clutch. hopefully it´s a good one. kind regards martin

P.S A sport that can end in a 0-0 tie is not a sport

see nobody mentioned how well england did in world cup haha(thats from an english man)

LOL

my english collegue which I am working with on a project said.."the english are rubbish"

thanks Martin... we'll see in the next couple of days if the eggs will pull enough water... Personally I am more comfortable if they are not so full of water in the beginning so that the pressure is not not high inside them... but anyway exciting what will happen..

Martin, Karsten....... we made it, it wasn't pretty but good enough!!!!! Hope to see you guys in the final, Good luck against spain!!!
