Now recently I've been mother henning alot over my gravid female Kyoko, Natural born worrier me!!
Anyways...Her eating had been very hit and miss since clutch one which goes against everything i have read about gravid females (bar the few days right before laying) so i had been keeping a very close eye on her aswell as multiple food bowls (I've been trialing BPZ recently, she's been given the choice to participate but normal food on offer just in case!). Last week saw her drop from 50g to 44g but no eggs in sight!
Now imagine me in full flappage as you wouldn't be far wrong!
Not to mention i could swear i could still make out clutch two's eggs low in her belly!
Not ONCE did it occur to me to start checking under decor as i provide a deep laybox (size of an A5 bit of paper) and use a heavy ration (and not very deep) of coarse bark to eco earth for substrate...
Still imagine me in full flappage...

She must of knocked some bark last night, because if she hadn't i would not of found these 2 pearlies till next deep clean day! Covered by bark, in a very tight gap, between and slightly under the bridge and laybox! (laybox removed for the picture...which then fell on the floor so i had earth everywhere!!!)
Moral of the story....check everywhere!!
Shes lost no weight since weigh day yesterday (infact she is heavier at 47g than the weigh of flappage day! 44g) so i believe these were laid last week! Already candling fertile with veins showing :D
Well played Kyoko....well played... -_-
