    I'm amazed they never seem to be impeded by the mass on their back at all!

    Mike you do know you're the reason I got mine...right? I like the that you get to be a part of the process with these guys. They are not very secretive. They don't hide the eggs from you. He carries the tads around on his back like he's showing off. Its very cool. I just found that my Veradero are raising a tad. I don't even know how long the tads been in there. But the Anthonyi are visible and proud parents.
