babies are babies no matter where they came from ;)
 
Not having a very good start to the season. My Topaz Woma was due to lay over the weekend. She dropped a slug on Friday morning, two more slugs on Saturday morning, and nothing has happened since. I can still see two possibly good eggs in her, about 5 inches up from the vent - however she's made no attempt to move them down, or if she has, then it's not working.

She was writhing around quite a bit last night so was hoping she might have layed or getting ready to, but no change this morning now she is out basking again.

I'm giving her until Thursday or Friday in peace without bothering her, if nothing happens then off to the vet. :( Have been so stressed out the last few days, this is the first time i've had to deal with a possibly egg bound female, i'll be devastated if anything happens to her or the fact she might not be able to breed again.

oh no vixen :( not good...there seams to be allot of females dropping slugs before the rest this season I wonder if its something to do with the climate ambient temps...
 
Hi Vixen,
You probably have already done this but if you haven't it might be worth a shot. See if you can really raise the humidity in the enclosure, especially her box.
Just spray the crap out of the enclosure or leave her water bowl directly under the lights
Good luck, you must be pretty upset.

This double line spotted girl is from Julie worley's tri colour line and has been in with my tri coloured male. Her first year breeding and had 11 healthy eggs this morning.

And 9 eggs are almost half way through incubation from this contrasting coloured spotted

Thanks Jimie, she's a bit nasty usually so was worries about getting her off the eggs but she didn't try striking once! She must be feeling much better now she's been fed though... This is the male I used over both as I love his colouring

Awesome, looking nice and chunky considering she's only just had prelay
 
Thank god, five nearly sleepless nights from stress and she presents me with this today - the relief was palpable (probably for me and her both! :lol:)

Two good eggs and three slugs which is more than fine by me, i'm just thankful she's ok.

Best of luck, I think this was a good learning curve to not panic so much - nature has a way of working things out and it's really a very slim chance of a female getting egg bound.

The stress just kicks in when things don't go to plan, or when odd things happen like this - laying slugs early etc etc. :lol:
 
thank goodness vixen i'm glad she's ok
i hope there's something real special in them 2 eggs to make it all worth it
good luck
 
My first albino
