Well, my trusty old arboreal came through again for the third year in a row. I noticed last week that I had not seen her for a few days so I suspected she was nesting. While feeding on the 15th I tipped her cover and she was upside down. It really bothered me that I had disturbed her right in the middle of laying, but I just sat back for a week with my fingers crossed that I hadn't caused any problem. I decided to check her this morning to remove any eggs that might be there and sure enough all was OK. Even better than OK, this was her biggest clutch yet with 35+ eggs! They all look good except for one runt which could still prove to be viable.
Here's the female and clutch.

This pic is deceptive, it doesn't look like there's that many.

And the eggs on Perlite. This has proven to be a very effective method for incubating them as long as you keep the water level BELOW the surface.
