EGG!!! @_@

I came home from work this morning and discovered an anole egg in the terrarium! Manimekalai must have lain it sometime while I was asleep yesterday evening, and I didn't see it until now. Thankfully the American green tree frogs I got yesterday (they were FINALLY in stock at the pet store, and I snagged the only two they had) for the anole (and now frog) terrarium didn't mess with it.

The egg has been safely and carefully marked, transferred to a separate plastic container with moist substrate in it, and placed back in the terrarium for incubation. I'm honestly not sure if it's fertile or not - it was on the surface of the substrate, which can be an indication of an infertile egg. But the Vermiculite I ordered for incubation purposes hasn't arrived yet, so it's possible that's why she didn't bury it very well (substrate in the terrarium isn't quite deep enough for that - the Vermiculite container would be deeper).
