I guess I should start with Sunday. I noticed her get on the ground three times when I came in the room. Pretty abnormal for her to ever literally get on the ground so I kind of figured she would be laying eggs soon. I was really in and out of the house I did not pay a great deal of attention to it. That night I checked on her right before the lights went out. On her normal branch chilling, looked good.
Now Monday I came in after working and she looked rather dehydrated, although, nothing to bad. I figured she must have laid her eggs. I pulled the container which is kind of designated for that purpose and there was nothing in it. I did a check over the cage real briefly and saw nothing to warrant one of the plants coming out of the cage.
Fast forward to today. I went to clean up some poop, a couple leaves, and wipe off the bottom. When I reached around the schefferella pot in the corner to wipe I pulled back a couple big clumps of soil. The cage itself is in a corner and so the plant is in that corner so I guess I just missed it some how.
I pulled the plant emptied it and found 17 eggs at the bottom which should be fertile and look it at this point. I had an accident out of my control with the last clutch I had so hopefully this clutch will turn out better. I plan on keeping them all for awhile and then cutting it down to 5-10 eggs that will hopefully hatch. Not sure I could handle much more then that.
