First off, this is my first year breeding.
I Purchased a "gravid" pastel in April. I was told she ovulated already and had her pre-lay shed February 28th. She was a little on the small side, however I did feel 5 golf ball size follicles/eggs in her. Just to be sure I threw in a Pastel male, but he didn't want anything to do with her. Over the next few weeks she grew a little bulge in her bottom half and was always coiled. She did not use her lay box however, and opted to lay under the moist paper towels on the heat. And she has refused all meals. At about 40 days I got a little worried and checked her to see if I could feel anything. Nothing, but she was swollen a little still. Now today I checked her and she is going into shed.
Any opinions on what happened or what I did wrong?
