Default Well what a Surprise!

One of my kleanmanni females laid five clutches! All eggs seemed to be infertile. Until suddenly after over four & a half months one hatched. Delighted.

So yesterday I popped to check on the adults & there in the corner of one enclosure... Is a tiny baby. Confused I ran to check if my neighbour had perhaps decided to put Cleo in with the adults for some reason (had been away for the weekend) but no Cleo was in her table in conservatory.

So this second egg has hatched all by itself, hidden deep in the substrate (which was bone dry sand!)

Im very surprised & very pleased.
