Since February of this year when I first noticed the bulge on my female Tangerine LG's tummy, I've never stopped wishing whenever I check my LG enclosure every morning - that I will be suprised with an egg or two in the laying chamber.
Here is my female Tangerine LG in a photo that I took last March 8 (obviously gravid na).
This morning, I wasn't expecting anything since almost 3 months na ko sige ug check sa laying chamber, and I don't see any egg...then, I got really suprised when I checked and FINALLY, a single egg is deposited at the bottom of the spaghnum moss substrate of the laying chamber. Wohooo!!! Finally!
Here are some of the pics I took this morning (april 23, 2009):
the egg in the laying chamber after I discovered it beneath the moss substrate
the egg after I carefully transferred it in the incubating chamber with moist perlite as incubating medium.
Since it is LG breeding season from January to September...I am looking forward for the next clutch by next month(hopefully 2 eggs per clutch na)...and 1 clutch each month until the end of the breeding season.

yup. usahay 1 egg lang for a new mother at the start...then soon, mahimo nang 2 per clutch. dugay gyud! but ok lang, plano nako mag develop ug mas nindot na morph lines later on. this initial pair will provide me a very valuable hands-on experience in breeding LGs.
