T. Carnifex do "the dance"

[al]

My T. carnifex 3:2 are doning their mating attire and have been showing their courting rituals...tail wag, sniff, etc. It very cool to see. I found one unfertile egg wrapped in my elodea plant...I'm taking a deep breath and will see what happens

My female is looking quite rotund and plump and the males crest is at full show (I think...1st season with this species).

Cool Al. My carnifex could not get it together this year...the males crested, the female was plump, but nothing happened. I even saw the female folding leaves numerous times as if laying, but no eggs were laid. Weird huh? The males have since lost their crests.
