I have not seen Squiggles for 2 weeks. She had herself so blocked in you couldn't even see in the cave anymore. This morning, I moved some of her shells and confirmed she's guarding eggs. This obviously was an adult. Unfortunately, small egg species so odds are not good to raise the babies. Oh is she mad at me. As I type she is pulling every shell she had blocking the cave back to where she had them. Her arms are reddish brown so she's mad! Will keep everyone posted.

yup thats what mine did...

Awww, so its another Dwarf Octopus species huh? I kinda figured based on the various pictures you had. Eureka and this one look very identical. I wonder why these Dwarf's at "That Pet's Place" never lay eggs before the customer buys them. Im guessing you purchased these once they notified you right? So far iv only heard that they had once a Vulgaris in which I got notified. It was when I had the Briareus and was 8 inches tentacle length. Mabye you own that one now or its possibly already boughten from a while back.

Hopefully your third octopus isn't another Dwarf. 2 Dwarf's seem like enough experience for you at this time.

That's one unhappy octo-mom!
