Ponca laying an egg

PHEve Jun 03, 2007 10:46 PM

This was just taken tonight about 11:00 I knew she was ready a few hours ago, so I have been peeking in on her. These little girls work very hard laying eggs, very exhausting. They sure are something!

Great photo. I'm sure glad I'm not a lizard

Thank God, we can't retain sperm and have 2 or three clutches in a period of a few months, lol ........... Geesh!

Incredible,

I don't think I have ever seen a photo of a Collared Lizard laying an egg.
Great Work!!

A few pics of the Moms laying eggs,.... I'm the MIDWIFE to the lizards, lol, hahahahaa, It always facinates me what they go through, they look so distressed just like woman in labor, so I have empathy for them.
But at the same time it's such an exciting moment, seeing that little egg, knowing that in a little more than a month, a new little creature will be brought into the world. And we all have a small part in it.
