SHES DIGGING!

[Throwingstones]

I have been following this tread and so glad to see she laid the eggs!

I didn’t notice anyone comment on getting her weight regularly. With my female I weigh her weekly once she is done with her receptive period so I know when she becomes gravid (she doesn’t show the typical colors). Normally she will gain 4-5 grams in about a 2 week span (this will be different for other females). This weight gain is dispite her feeding schedule staying the same. My girl is pretty tiny, normally around 55-56g. I have found the reduction in feeders has significantly reduced her clutch size. Last clutch back in January she was max 60g, not sure how many she laid bc I couldn’t find them (bioactive bin). And just for context her very first clutch was 33 eggs.

I’ve read about weighing but I haven’t gotten to the point yet. I don’t want to stress her too much. Her behaviors definitely changed when she became receptive though.

In one of the Facebook groups someone had theirs lay in the 60s! I expect next time to be less as well and less stressful for me. I’m hoping for the 20s. I really should’ve cut back on food a lot sooner.

20s should be easily possible with the less feeding and lower temps. My girl always sits between 22-26.

38 eggs! I expected at least 30 because I only cut down on her food like two weeks ago. Also that’s how she slept last night.

awesome!! Good job to her!! And you!!!
