[QUOTE="Scoolman, post: 70116, member: 41"] [B]Well, looks like I neglected this thread. I am going to have to post pics and get this thread up to date.[/B] For now: [B]I went a completely different route with the build. I used pumice stone, instead of styrofoam, to create the landscape and it worked beautifully, and looks very much like their native habitat. [/B] [B]Today they were very active, and I was able to positively confirm 4 females and two mature males; one of whom was very amorous and made his way around to each of the females, who were all very receptive. Watching their behavior is absolutely fascinating, not one single event or episode of aggression toward one another. Even when the male kept pestering the small female. She would push him away, or slap him, but maintained a calm disposition the entire time. When one specimen encounters another, while wondering around, they just go about their business, they do not startle, they do not go through any sort of ritual, they just walk over around each other. They seem to be fully aware of each other.[/B] [B]Pictures to folow[/B] [/QUOTE]
