This morning I woke up and thought I would take a few pics of my imitator eggs so everyone could see how they are developing. While doing this I noticed my male was out so I decided to snap a few quick shots of him (since they usually hide when I try and get pics). As I was shooting pics of him I noticed a little surprise on his back. It was a little tad pole being piggy backed around the tank. Needless to say I am ecstatic about this. I have been looking through out the tank for tads but nothing yet. Anyway here are the pics (sorry not the best in the world).

Here is another shot:

Wow Tony, you're imitators MUST be really happy and comfortable in the vivarium you've given them. I haven't caught any of my pumilio's carrying tads yet (though I know they do!) Did you happen to see where the adult put the tad? Keep up the good work!

Randy,
Right now it is still on his back. I am hoping he puts it in one of the film canisters in the tank. There is alao a small water feature he could put it in but I am hoping for the canister.

LOL I hear what you are saying. I have several others I hope start giving up the tads soon. This hobby is very addictive but so much fun.

Good luck

Yes it is...
