R. fantastica eggs

I found some eggs in my fantastica cage 2 nights ago and yesterday. They male is 8 months old and the female only 7, so I'm really surprised.

3 bad eggs (laid on a 'feeding station'):

1 better looking egg:

Thanks, yeah good luck to you too. I got these guys from different breeders and had them separate for 2 months. When I put them together, the female all but attacked him in lust and he couldn't get away fast enough, but a week later they are inseparable.

Yeah, she looked like an imitator with solid netting when she morphed apparently. Really nice and extra bold. I actually see them more than any of my other frogs - always out.

Yeah they had been on my list since '99.

I'm using a Canon D60 (really old school digital) and 100mm macro. It's great when you can have piece of technology that can work for more than 4 years (and that's coming from an IT too)
