G. platynota Nesting

[HermanniChris]

Thought I'd share this with everyone. This is female 391 born October 22, 2007 and on January 9th 2013, she laid her very first egg. The egg was a bit smaller than the usual and her nesting efforts were depthless or careless at best. The egg was, as suspected, infertile but still this is an exciting event. She is a large, 10" animal, now in outstanding health and I am hopeful for her future here. She has not been with a male since the early fall. Here are some photos of her and one of the nesting/egg. Taken with my iphone so excuse the quality.

Although infertile. This is a great accomplishment for you. Congrats. Now you need to put the male with her.
