One of these animals laid an egg today in the cage on top of the sand. Since only #3 Uma notata, of all the ♀ present in the cage, is in breeding colors, it seems quite probable that she is responsible for the egg. It was dessicated when I found it, so I am unable to tell whether it was fertile or not. Since one of the ♂ is also in breeding colors, mating may have occurred.
