just got in from work and there's a moldy egg kicked out the cave that looks solid white/yellow in colour so i think there infertile. shone a light in and i can see some mouldy ones and they all seem pale white so he probably hasnt even fertilized them this time.... he's supposed to be getting better at it not worse! :?

really dissapointed yet again.... :cry:

What a disappointment :( , but he could be too young and inexperienced. How long have you had him? :(

eggs finally laid in the early hours of this morning, had her trapped for 5 days, then switched caves and spawned that night. i saw them wrestling in and out of the cave before i went to bed last night, at one point the female even had the male trapped lol :shock: but when i woke up they we're in a different cave and the eggs were laid.
