Update on random slug question

gretzkyrh4 May 09, 2006 11:01 AM

Last week I had inquired if anyone had noticed there female drop a random slug well after laying. Well to update that, I was cleaning cages last night and found her laying a second clutch. I had placed her with a male again after the first clutch, because she was slow getting back onto the feed. But apparently she had enough in reserve to drop another clutch. It consisted of only 6 good eggs, and 4 infertile ones.
She is a relatively large corn 4' and weighed in at 800g after the first clutch of 21 was dropped, so I didn't even notice the signs of a second smaller clutch. Oh well, can't complain. Its definitely a nice suprise. Now I just really need to get her weight back up to the 800 mark by brumination.

Oops, apparently I can't type. What I meant to say was she hasn't been placed in with a male since her first clutch. She actually hasn't been placed with a male since the first week in February right before I purchased her.
