That's beautiful!! How many eggs have the two females laid?
They are quite big eggs.

Hi,

the first nest contains 16 Eggs. The second one 26 eggs. The female of the first nest is smaller than the second one.
I'm not sure if I counted all eggs, because it's hard to count quick, without destroying the nest and trying to not disturb the guarding female too much.

Today I found a first sign of development in one of the eggs! :-)

Hi all,

just found a 3rd nest. It contains 20+ eggs. They are less then half the size than the older ones - so they soak up a lot water!

More pictures and updates to come soon!

Best Greetings,
