Yoshi is today moving around the rocks and climbing shelves, looking as though she is RUBBING her belly on the floor, very much like when the males are trying to impress. She has a ridiculously weird angle to one of her egg bumps, it looks as though it is sticking out sideways, I wondered if maybe she was trying to trigger movement, last night her belly was heaving, as though she was having contractions.

Has anyone ever seen this before? She is active as usual, basking and jumping about, just rubbing her tummy as she goes.

ummm.... Ok,so I have NO idea when it comes to anything but us upright creatures, a gravid humaniod will do ANYTHING to get rid of what is inside her when it's getting time. Tho I wouldn't try castor oil on her , maybe a warm soak would help her feel more comfy and help things along - it sure helps near the end of the human gravid phase! lol! Praying for you two!

Thanks for your reply, and also your prayers

I will be fine, I have a large bottle of Vino in the chiller, I dont think that will help her much though, lol. I am going to bath her shortly, she has barely moved this afternoon, and is so fat around the middle she is beginning to resemble a horned frog with a tail, lol
