Hey MattMan and every1 she laid eggs!

beardie_br0z Aug 21, 2003 12:33 PM

I was taking a trip up to my uncles house and right before we left we put her in her digging bin as we did everyday for an hour so she understands that we know whats going on. she started digging but we couldnt wait because me my bro and my dad were leaving.. Today i called home to see whats up and they told me she laid eggs right after we left and i guess i did the right thing. When i get home im going to take pictures..I guess i did the right thing didnt i? She has ate 3 roaches since she laid that we got from ron tremper ( my stepdad owns amgecko ) he gave us 10 so i hope those fatten her up. Please post any comments or things i could do to make her feel normal and maybe fatten her up or am i doing the right thing?

Thanks a bunch ,
Joey

P.S - Thanks 4 everys help throughout this whole ordeal. ( im not he best speller )

Yeah good Idea to start feeding heavy. Make sure to use the calcium supplements. You might be having more in a few weeks, if she decides to double or triple up. How much is she weighing now after the first clutch? Give her a nice variety of foods to fatten up just incase another round of eggs comes. After laying good idea to give a nice warm bath and hydrate her. How many did she lay so far? I just had a female lay yesterday morning. I had no clue until she went nutts digging and scratching. I figured she had a some infertile eggs and she did. She got them all out thank God and is doing good. Didn't even notice a change in her size. Still big and fat, lol. Good Luck!! let us know if more come.
