Guess what she did? Laid a 29 egg clutch (down from 54-56) over night Saturday. I waited a full day before digging them up, to make sure she was done.
If anyone remembers our last (and her first) time around, this is a very different story. I expected a similar routine from her, but this time was very different. There were no "signs like before. No digging test holes for an entire month. No frenetic pacing, climbing or scratching the screen.
Saturday evening, she wasn't getting ready for bed, she had started a hole (I threw a blanket over the front). Worked all night (stayed/slept) in her hole and spent 1/2 of Sunday covering it up to her satisfaction and climbed up to sit on her branch all done. Less than 1 day from start to finish. Beast mode!
She is skinnier than last time (although in this pic of her she is a little puffed up) but I think that is to be expected since I do not over feed or feed everyday so she is not a tree cow, like the first time. She is getting big, fat, juicy gutloaded dubia with calcium everyday for the next couple days.
Yah for easy, second time around!
