Beared pygmy cham egg question

[kearth]

One of my older beaded pygmy chams has just started dropping eggs onto the viv floor.

I have found 4 so far ( I am guessing that there will be no more) but why would she not bury them at all or even attempt? She is in the same viv that she has always been in and she use to dig/ bury them?

Have I done something wrong?


How long do these little guys live anyways?

On the egg front im not sure why she didnt bury them might be something to do with the substrate or the temperatures. On the age question i believe most get to around 3 or 4.

I have had pygs drop eggs randomly instead of digging and laying them in a hole before too. I think its something they just do sometimes. One time when i recieved some fresh WC's in the mail, there was about 8 eggs from a few females in the bottom of the deli cup. From what i remember they all hatched. As long as there heathly and your giving them places to lay the pygs and eggs should be fine.
