Luna spent a total of 20 hours in her tub - from digging to covering. Including the few she dropped early I counted about 37 or so. This is close to her two previous clutches of 42 both times.



In the past she has been famished and would eat immediately - and a lot! Yesterday I just focused on keeping her hydrated (shower) and got some repta-aid and calcium into her. Today I offered her dusted crickets (which after several hours she ate two and only b/c she hit them both at the same time), an adult silk moth, superworm and waxworm. She accepted none. She did not get her required NCg either - we had a bit iof a fight over it and then I gave up as it ran down her chin and just couldn't bear stressing her out any more than she has been



Right now, which is her bedtime, she usually readily goes to her spot before lights out. Instead, she is hanging sideways on a branch under her basking spot with her head down. It is just really out of character for her. I turned out her lights to prod her to bed but she is just "hanging" out in the dim light.



I thought I had read that a sign of dystocia was them hanging from just front (or hind?) legs. Of course I can not find where I read it - and she does have all four feet on the branch.



So, my question is: if the cham has dug, laid, covered is there any chance she still has any remaining eggs or would she not have left her hole? Btw, she lost 20g. She usually loses 30 but she was a bit underweight to begin with. Of course my other concern is the MBD.



thanks for any experience/knowledge.
