I feed all the critters yesterday and PC02, my largest female Collett didn't eat. This I thought strange as she's normally a pig when it comes to food.
I got home this morning from work and found out why she wasn't eating. Sitting in the hide were 11 eggs (and 2 slugs). SURPRISE 
Damn, wasn't ready for that. She didn't even look gravid. Bought a new (secondhand) incubator on the weekend and haven't even had time to set it up, none of my egg containers were ready, so basically it was panic stations.
So now they're all weighed and measured, and all nice and comfy in the incubator.
The good eggs had a length range of 52mm to 58mm with an average of 55.31, width range of 26.5mm to 31mm with an average of 29.81 and weight range of 26gm to 31gm with the average being 28.90.
The 2 Slugs were 42.5mm and 50mm in length, 21mm and 18.5mm in width and weighed 9gm and 10gm.

I might have to get a 3rd or even fourth girl to try to keep up with demand.

Normally just prior to laying she looks like she's going to explode, she's just that swollen, but this time nothing. Like I said, I didn't even realize she was gravid.

If there are any left I'll put up a post. They go for around the $150 mark. Quote:
