Just thought I'd share this:

My 2 year old western laid 10 unfertilized eggs (I have no male) a couple days ago. Most were smallish and yellow but a couple were big and white. Also, a week prior to this I was holding her and watching TV and felt something odd. I looked down and she was biting my PALM! She couldn't get a good grip, but still pretty odd. The skin wasn't broken, no pain. WEIRD!?

Oh, and she was sold to me as a male...

(old photo by the way)

Nice western!!! Your female was probably in distress when she bit you because she was gravid,most females get a little restless and irritable when their gravid. They don't want to be messed with. Kevin

Or it is possible your hands smelled like food. I have heard of a hoggie biting in feeding response after the owner had eated a burger. Just a thought.

Are you sure the big and white eggs weren't fertile? possibly from an earlier encounter. In my experience, slugs aren't usually big and white.

She was a virgin. Had her from a hatchling.

Better lock the doors and get an alarm... She might be having a late night visitor lol...
