First Reproductive Observations for Herpele Peters, 1880 (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Herpelidae): Evidence of Extended Parental Care and Maternal Dermatophagy in H. squalostoma (Stutchbury, 1836)
Table 2
Changes in mass (in g) during one month for a clutch of 16 young and one attending adult Herpele squalostoma discovered on June 26, 2012. Animals were weighed to 0.01 g, but mass is here given to a precision of 0.1 g. Young 13–16 were removed permanently on day 1. The young were not individually marked such that individual changes in mass were not recorded, young are instead listed in decreasing order of mass for each date weighed.
