Notophthalmus egg, day 1

[ester]

I bought a daylight lamp last year to fight some winter depression. Of course there are more uses for such a lamp.. cheaper than an add on piece for my camera, that's for sure. This allows me to take pictures at 1/60 shutter speed, which is quite ok for closeups (Nikon coolpix 4500).

The egg is 4mm long.

About 45 minutes later it looks like this.

Day 2.. much less interesting since most of the changes go on somewhere on the inside. Too small even for my camera to show!
10 hours since the last picture was taken:

and 12 hours later again:

I expect more real action again on day 4-5
