reabsorbing eggs?

wowpoetry Jan 01, 2008 11:53 AM

hi there. i'm a fairly new owner that bought our pair of leo's (and a pair of corns) from a breeder cross country in early Oct. i was told they were just about a year old when we recieved them. i'm having trouble following up with the breeder now and have some questions.. help?? she (Flyer, our female) was gravid when the breeder sent her, and went through all the signs... the restlessness, stopped eating, digging in the moist hide... and then, stopped and is "normal" again, with no eggs. but she doesn't seem bound or sick, just like it all went away. is there a chance she's reabsorbed them? or that her mate (Orange Juice, our male) ate them before we got to them? also, it was early Oct when we got them, and it's Jan 1st now and still no eggs, and she hasn't looked like she was gravid since. does that mean her season is over for now? sorry for so many questions, but i've done searches all over and haven't really come up with much, and i feel kinda lost without any support from the person we bought them from. thanks guys and Happy New Year!
Carol

Fairly common, esp. when stressed toward the end of the season.
