[QUOTE="MantidBro, post: 275740, member: 6731"] My Deroplatys lobata female showed a major interest in her ootheca after it was laid. I made a video. I got the feeling that she knew what it was, and knew it was hers. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6IE6hSWKmM"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6IE6hSWKmM[/URL] Once I put it up in her cage, she guarded her ootheca often. She'd stare at it, and one time when I took her out and put her back in, I was able to watch her slowly make her way all the way to the ooth and hover above it, with one foot resting on it. I took a photo.
