Disappointment

[Simon_Archibald]

Hi all,
Well I've just returned to Newcastle from Darwin...long story

Today went out to feed the Mertens, only to find that the female had laid 5 eggs...but in the water. Must have been in the last few days as were deflated and yuck.

Such a shame considering all the work, but the fact they bred so readily is a positive and now I'll just concentrate on getting the girl's condition up ready for later in the year.

Bad luck Simon, but as you said at least you know they're breeding now.
I still get pissed off if i miss beardy clutches let alone something I've been tryng to breed for a while.
