This clutch was a total surprise to me. I put the male in with her a couple times, saw one copulation but she never showed any signs of being gravid. I didn't even get a shed before she laid.

I went down stairs tonight to check on everyone and noticed her in the water bowl. I pulled her up and there laid 4 eggs and one dud. She was still laying them so I quickly made up a laying box and put her in there to finish.

The 4 eggs in the bowl look good and I only had a very small amount of water in the bowl so I'm hoping they'll survive.

Here is a picture of those eggs:


She gave me 4 more good looking eggs and another dud after putting her in the laying box.

Here is a picture of those eggs:


Wish me luck guys.
