nyokos first lay!!

[Chris1]

about a month ago i put a container of wet sand in with my amyae incase they felt like laying, for ages it didt get touched, then last wednesday night one of the girls started digging, dug every night since and this morning was still in her laying container, i think im gonna have eggs when i get home!!! first time ever!

heres a pic of my pretty girl, pics are crap cos i didnt wanna open the doors and maybe startle/distract her,..!

hope she lays mate

 

[kupper]

In future what you can do is flip her over gently and if she is gravid you will see two clear outlines

Good luck

 

[ezekiel86]

good luck mate!
keep us posted

 

[Chris1]

thanks guys, im so excited sitting at work, im kicking myself for not having some kind of web cam set up!!

Kupper, they were in the mesh sunning enclosure on the weekend and i could i clearly see the outlines while she was hanging off the mesh,...just had no idea how much longer she was gonna be!
actually the other girl is gravid too,...

do they have a pre lay shed?
i found skin about 2 weeks ago and was wondering,...

Digging and going off there food are two pretty good indicators mate so you got that downpat

Have you witnessed them mating ?

nup, didnt see any mating, i did see a bite mark on her belly tho, i i figured she'd been grabbed for a reason,..
and yeah, shes normally waiting up tohe front for food every 3rd night, which i was expecting last night but she wasnt interested,..just digging and diggin and digging,...she must be exhausted!!!

thanks Col, first eggs are soooo exciting!!


and thanks Steve, Jade looks ready to shed so im guessing she'll be next!

im about an hour from home, cant wait to see what i find!!

[the jungle guy]

very nice congrads chris

 

[kupper]

Awesome stuff mate

I would suggest giving the female some TLC before allowing the male back on with her just gives her time to build up some condition

Well done mate

 

[Sock Puppet]

Good onya Chris, good luck with cookin' em!

 

[Chris1]

thanks guys!
bit nervous about the cooking, only cos i havent done it before, the container has fogged up nicely, but isnt wet,..was 30.1C when i tested it this morning,...

hmm, seperate them eh, thats probably a nice idea!
might stick the boys in a beardie enclosure over night then and back in with the girls to sleep during the day till the weekend, ive never seen any of them do anything other than sleep while the suns out,...
i can stick a partition in on the weekend, they have a warm patch on each end,....

i have 4 new enclosures being made so i can do a better job of seperating them soon,...

thanks for the advice!
