T & Cement, congratulations.

Cement, that egg in the bottom left of the shot is a monster! Is it just the photo or does the shell look a bit sketchy on that one?

I think it has just been layed by the looks of it so will look like the others in half and hour or so.

Well done guys.

Is everyone doing egg over water incubation wise ? Anyone know where I can get some grate material ? Can't wait to see some eggs, what's the best way to tell that there comin very soon ?

Spot on Rob,
Slide- It takes around half an hr to lay an egg, so 10 eggs is 5hrs of egg laying. I don't keep the papertowel in there either, its just to stop them rolling while I shell them over a heat source. The last egg laid is the bottom left, was 155gms, and the biggest. They come out like jelly, but need contact with the air to shell so I wait till they shell before I put them in the humid incubator. To be honest I haven't bothered candling them, they all look good to me, so far.

The first 2 clutches this girl laid, she was showing signs of labour 24 hrs or so before laying. By signs, I mean she was constantly on the move, trying to dig down through the floor of the enclosure, writhing in a ball. I rested her last year, this year she didn't do that. But she did get mobile and cruise around the enclosure a lot. you can tell they are looking for a site to lay. She was due to lay on the 1st oct, but went yesterday the 28th. If your girl is gravid then after about 24-25 days after pre lay shed, I would be checking her every chance you get.
