Out of hibernation
I got a surprise this morning, one of my female iberas was up and slowly about. I knew they were moving under the soil, as I could see the cracks in the soil. But normally when this happens it takes at least a week to a fortnight for them to come up. And the others are more advanced in movement:0)
So maybe Spring has arrived, or they are in for a shock if the temps drop again:0(

I've been checking for signs of mine as it's been warm for a few days now but no show yet. It's to be 10c for about the next 10 days too.
