mother with babies
6 November: the babies are still staying near the mother and the opened egg sac
7 November: mother still protecting her babies. When I tapped on the glass she gathered them all closely between her front legs. I went away for the camera because I wanted to get a shot of this. The second time I tapped, she didn't react at all. One trial learning. Smart!
