I didnt get a pic... Doh!

But... I got a perfect view of her underside last night as she was climbing over the glass doors and she has a nice 'bright' white patch on her belly that looks egg sized.

I'm 95% certain she's got an egg, she may have laid a few already for all I know in her cork bark tubes...

Can any L.lugubris keepers offer their thoughts?

small white patch???? hmmm let me think.... yep its most probably an egg Laughing

normally you can see when they lay eggs as they make no effort to hide them, two (occasionally one) eggs about the size of a small pea usually glued in plain view is what i usually get from mine. an interesting thing to note is that they are a lot more productive when kept in pairs or groups than when kept singularly.

cheers, will
