Hi Folks,
it happened after nearly 2 years, my first own breed N. kaiseri got mature with 23 months and I got the first eggs of them. They reached nearly size of adults, maybe 1cm less.
I observed in summer (strange enough at that time) after 17 months for the first time enlarged cloaca in both sexes. So it was easy to tell what is male and female. 7 animals I kept (chosen by chance) from the first breeding turned out to be 4 males and 3 females. One pair I still keep, the other I gave away. That cb pair I kept since metamorphosis terrestrial and from November to January at 10-14°C. 1 week ago I put them in an aquarium and raised water level over 3 days and temperature to 16-18°C. Just after 4 days keeping in water the first 14 eggs appeared.
See attached pictures of eggs and some of my captive breed kaiseri from 2008 and 2009.
So I hope they are fertilized and hope to see developing embryos soon.
