I just happened to walk by and notice this girl hanging off the edge of the rocks laying an egg! Instead of moving her, I decided to just catch the egg so it wouldn't break on the rock below. The others got very excited about my arm being in the enclosure and one of the other girls bit me!!! This better be a good egg!!

After laying the egg she climbed back up on the rock and began to "cover" her nest. She has been digging proper test holes for the last week.

OMG, that is just too funny. Sorry you got bit, but that's kinda funny too:p. For that sharp eye, the catching effort and getting bit, it sure better be a good egg:D

It was a love bite, for saving the egg. Never seen one come out. Omg.My girl had three eggs the first year I owned her. Has never happened again. Crazy. Hope you get a baby.
