happy Birthday
some of them are looking quiet big.
Do you know thier weight?

[Gijs & Sabine]

They are not very big (yet ), Udo.
Today I did weigh some of them: a small one 1.27 gram, a medium one 1,76 gram and a big one 1.92 gram. So lets say they weigh approximately 1.7 gram.

My scales are not that good, I have weigh the whole clutch and divide the weight.
1,7 gr. is really nice.
When I had a clutch with an approximately weight of 3 gr. I thought they were "monsters".(radix too)

Yes, I know. As far as I can tell marcianus have real big babies. And last year our infernalis female had huge ones as well.
I will try to weigh all the clutches this year, might be interesting.
