kiyakotariFound a second egg in the terrarium this morning, about an hour and a half after the lizards woke up for the day. I started looking for it after Manimekalai suddenly went from plump to considerably less so. It has been safely and carefully moved to the incubation container. It was properly buried (unlike the first one) and shows all the signs of being a fertile egg. I have high hopes.
Manimekalai looks so funny right after laying an egg. XD Her tummy is nice and chubby like usual, but she's got this deflated area right in front of her back legs. Stupidly cute.
The first egg has proven to be infertile, as I expected. I'm not particularly surprised by this. It shrank and became wrinkly, and then started to grow mold. I did dissect it, just to be sure and because I'm a freak, and there was nothing inside but solidified (rotten) albumen, with no signs that it ever contained a viable embryo.
In other news, one of the American green tree frogs I added to the terrarium is doing very, very well. The other one appears fine, but is losing weight. As far as I can tell, he's not eating nearly as much as he should. I am fretting over him.
