Well monday (I think) the toads went into the breeding chamber... 1/2 a cm of water and a piece of cork bark for land.

Sprayed heavy for 5 minutes and left them.. Some calling from the 2 maes was heard a few hours later.

Sprayed again heavily for another 5 minutes that evening and the water level was about 1.5-2 cm more calling and some swimming observed.

next morning another heavy spray and that evening another heavy spray until water level is about 3cm.

hornwart added to the water for egg laying sites.

left them alone since tuesday night with the odd look but no spraying the tub is @ 90-100% humidity.

had a look Today and AMPLEXUS! these toads did this for the last owner so no great thing but it's a start Very Happy

I hope they pop out some eggs soon hehehe
