So Cleopatra is now just over 9 months old. She is an Ambanja and yesterday she weighed in at 52g. I have weighed her every other Sunday since I got her and she is currently up 3-5g above her projected weight and I have given her no increase in food.
2 weeks ago she went into her new 2x2x4 castle complete with custom laying bin well hidden at the bottom of the cage. I suspended a pothos from the top of the cage and it looks amazing. So much so I had to redo Samson's cage because hers put it to shame, I want to post pics but I keep forgetting my phone usb cable at work. Anyways she accimilated quickly and has been walking all about the cage even the many pathways to the laying bin.
The past week or two though I constantly see her in the lower part of the cage hanging out, shes not sleeping or eyes closed; her temps/humidity (84 high/72 low/ never below 50%humidity) are spot on so I wonder if this is what it means when I read forum members post about their gravid girls getting ready to lay eggs?
My lady has such a nice body, but the past few days I notice shes looking like she has a big poop, even though she is more regular than I with nice white urates. Could it be that she will be laying eggs soon?
I have read over and over again about this and I am fairly certain it is time soon. Her laying bin is all ready with moist play sand, its well covered and easily accessible. I bought some butterworms for my chams as a lil treat, I hear those are high in calcium which will be perfect for little Cleo after this is over. Is there anything else I should be mindful of?
I'm just a little nervous that's all. Never had kids so I can only assume this is a taste of what all you dads have gone through. sorry for the wall of text
