It is with great sadness I say that this breeding atempt is basically over without any eggs at all. We originally planned to keep the breeding season going this night and the next, but it's quite clear that it's over already. The male have completly stopped calling like he did during the first day (you can easilly tell when they're calling for mating and when not). All in all, we saw them in amplexus three times over the last few days, where the first time lasted over 24 hours. Still, no eggs were laid
I'm not sure what went wrong. Perhaps the waterpart is too small, perhaps they did not have good spots enough to lay eggs, perhaps the dry season was to short. Perhaps it just didn't happen for natural reasons. Whatever it is, we're going to try again in a few months (2 or so), with som small adjustments to increase the chances of offspring.
Of course we're really bummed out about this, but we at least we have the experince of trying it, so we can make it even better next time.
Thanks everyone for keeping your fingers crossed for us!
