That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard of!.....I could certainly understand her wanting to EAT them, as they are typically extremely hungry and immaciated to some degree, but to just bite and tear them all in half, is just mind-blowing.

I'm even having trouble picturing just how she might have done this,.....I wonder if she did it to each egg as it emerged from her cloaca,....this seems like it might have given her the needed leverage and grip to do this.....hmmmm,.....that's just plain "WHACKO"

If you try breeding her again in the future, you might try keeping her FAR away from the kings, and offer her a lot of smaller meals, such as fuzzies/hoppers to sustain her, which may help to keep her from later being so hungry that she wants to chew her eggs,.....hopefully that is!


best regards, ~Doug
