An Interesting Turn of Events

Hmmm. Seems as though Murphy finally caught on that he's in a tank with three girls ...

Nice job getting a photo of a spermatophore, Dot - that's not easy. I wonder how long until the baby shower...

Woo! Go Murphy and his mate (what's her name?)!! Congrats on the babies! Is she a melanoid? I couldn't tell very well from the pic. If you are looking for folks to adopt some of the wee ones, I'd be interested.

Well done Dot,

I told you, that they were coming!!

How many did u get you think?

Later tonight, I'm going to remove everything that has eggs on them and place them in a separate aerated bucket. Depending on whether or not I can give the eggs away, I may just let the adults eat them, or flush them, because I have no room to raise them. Check the U.S. Advertisements section.

Dot, do all your axies get on well? you dont have any problems with the girls fighting over Murphy?

Haven't checked this forum in a while, but to answer your questions:

Yep, all the axies get along very well. The two bigger ones, (wildtypes - Bucky (the mother) and Satchel), used to pick on Murphy a bit, but otherwise, they don't really mind each other. The wildtype girls generally don't bother with him, but he spends a lot of time hanging out with Connor, my golden albino female.
