"Uyama II" pumilio woohoo! (breeding clip and pics)

[ChrisK]

I THINK they were breeding in the first half of this clip (you can see his throat sac expanded from calling), I looked in later with a flashlight and it looked like there were a couple of bumps in there but it's too dark in that dead brom leaf to be able to tell till the lights go out later and I can shine the flashlight in there again; in the second half the male was sitting on this leaf on and off for the past couple of days for some reason (he just doesn't hang out there), after I shot the clip I looked and saw why haha - he was either moisturizing it or fertilizing it. If anyone recognizes the female it's because Shawn (sports_doc) posted her in a couple of threads, he sent her to me a couple of days ago, thanks Shawn (you don't need to remind me you get first dibs ) !!!!!!
